Of course it’s a large and complex project in terms of code, but in terms of industrial impact it’s unlikely to ever amount to much.
Linux just has too much momentum and there are too few real benefits to Hurd.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as GNU/Linux, is in fact, just Linux.

No, what they're referring to as a GNU/Linux is in fact GNU Hurd.

Yeah GNU hasn't really been involved for a long time. It's Mozilla/Linux in reality. Not to mention the totally GNU-free distributions, like Alpine.

This is not GNU/Linux. GNU Hurd is a totally different kernel.
