My impression is that it is less about coming from BeOS itself then its
concepts. The goal of the Haiku project is taking a forward thinking OS
concept and modernizing it. Actually, BeOS did the same thing with concepts
originating from XINU "XINU is not UNIX" (80s). So you could argue the
roots even go back to then.
