Not sure it's just notation but a mater of understanding.

In computer programming "exists" it's a matter of checking all the possibilities and find one, therefore is restricted to finite sets (and realistically speaking quite small the ones).

On the other hand in mathematics there is no such restriction. Existence is just an assumption, if there is at least one, then we go further with the assumption, no meter we talk about finite sets, infinite countable sets or infinite uncountable.

I'm working as a computer programmer for quite a long time and I also find this very annoying seeing people around thinking only finite when they have to solve real problems.


I vote for zephyr. Seems to be the newest and might get some momentum


That's what I'm leaning towards. It actually appears to be a rebranded VxWorks (Rocket kernel) which Intel acquired the rights to open source/rebrand it [1]. It does also have the support of the Linux foundation too! [2]

Hi, really appreciate your honesty. Although it's not just blur under the hood, if that's all what the end user see, that all that counts.
