Anyway, I thought that this design would enable us to get the job done faster, but it didn't work out that way; it actually took many years to get the Hurd to run, partly because Mach was unreliable, partly because the debugging environment wasn't very good, partly because it's hard to debug these multithreaded, asynchronous programs and partly because this was somewhat of a research project. At least that's as far as I can tell; I was never involved in the actual development of the Hurd.
