IIRC, a lot of the work behind this (capability-first Unix-style APIs) ended up being recycled into WASI.
shameless plug: I wrote a blog post about 3 months ago which features all that history :)
Idd, it was the post about WASI 0.2 that referenced CloudABI and made me realize it was more popular then what I thought from what I had seen at a BSD conference. I’m impressed to see what Ed has achieved and how it lives on in WASI.
I had a minor involvement around that time, getting as far as “Hello World” in Python on CloudABI https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/thread/XOLHCSA2DDDN2K5SQEH7L2CSNTXRGWNO/ and a EuroPython talk with a good gag badly executed https://archive.org/details/EuroPython_2016_zUuTRAoC. Unfortunately it was just as I started a new job, and that consumed my time/attention. I’m so glad CloudABI seeded WASI, and it’s gaining real traction across the board.
