dW: In your draft of The Art of Unix Programming, you talk about the
Macintosh community and how the Macintosh community is merging, in a
way, with the UNIX community. Are there projects where you're
actually seeing that happen?
Raymond: I don't say that in the book and I wouldn't put it that
way. I would say that the communities are looking at each other's
stuff and beginning to learn some things.
dW: So are there shining examples of this kind of convergence?
Raymond: Well, I have one good one. There's an audio editor called
Audacity that I use as a case study in my book, which I think is a
brilliant example of how you take the Macintosh ideas of
discoverability and interface transparency and move them into a UNIX
environment without losing the UNIX virtues in the process.
