…NeXTstep was built on mach and, although i’m unsure if any antecedents remain in macOS, it was certainly production-ready in its day; i remember a couple of decades ago there were stopgap versions of the HURD built on top of mach instead of their own microkernel but i thought that was only ever intended as a temporary workaround…
…i presume on that basis that sustained developer interest was its greatest hurdle, no pun intended…
edit: …is this the post-mortem you mentioned?..
…PIPs only serve to establish cause for terminating protected classes…
…i’m absolutely ignorant of its current state, but every time i’ve checked in on progress of GNU/hurd over the past three decades, it still hasn’t matured into a stable production-ready platform: i’m not sure if that’s an artifact of technical viability or developer interest…

…dr. strangelove may well have been an original example but a 1939 single was far from contemporary in 1964: not only was it a quarter–century old, as a pre-war standard re-framed during the atomic age it was emblematic of an entirely different generation’s lost world…

…american residential houses are neither expensive nor slow to construct and 3D printed houses aren’t significantly cheaper nor faster: what’s expensive is land and infrastructure and what’s slow is permitting…

…as mentioned in another reply, the cars are fundamentally different (NASCAR hews closer to 20th-century stock-car archetypes, F1 closer to state-of-the-art open-wheel archetypes) and F1 is (at least nominally) a constructor’s championship which competes on engineering, with all teams racing unique protoypes, while NASCAR is (at least nominally) a racing-team championship which competes strictly on drivers and tuning, with all teams racing identical silhouette cars…
…the truth is that as both series have evolved, the blend of constructor vs. racing-team competition has moved to converge somewhat toward the middle…
…the greater difference is that NASCAR is primarily raced on oval speedways while F1 is primarily raced on road circuits: the joke is that NASCAR goes fast while turning left but F1 starts, stops, and turns like real cars on a real road…
…again, though, both series have evolved to converge somewhere toward the middle: most F1 circuits are now run on dedicated racetracks which resemble twisty roads, and NASCAR now includes a few road-racing tracks in their series, too, to keep things interesting…one clear distinction is that only F1 includes real street circuits and only NASCAR races on oval speedways…
…culturally, NASCAR is the domain of american good-old-boys, and F1 the domain of european jet-setters, but there’s a bit of crossover outside those core demographics…
