[oak perl] Fear of Forking?

[George Woolley]

Anyone read Rick Moen's "Fear of Forking" essay?
I like the other title too: "Why Linux Won't Fork".

I gather the essay has been recently updated,
but I'd somehow missed the earlier version(s).
Before I dove into it, I actually wondered what his point was
about forking in Linux.
But it's a pun and a (gag) fun one too.

Anyway I'd be interested in comments on his essay.
Personally I found it very engaging.

Oh, yeah, it's at:
