What would you differently, if you could redesign Linux userland from scratch?

4•signa11•2h ago
Prompted from a similar discussion at lobsters (and i am copying the text verbatim)

    If we kept Linux the kernel exactly as it is today, but redesigned 
    everything in userland from scratch (the init system, the filesystem 
    hierarchy, the shell, libc, packaging, configuration, dbus, polkit, PAM, 
    etc.), what would you do differently, and why?
here is the link to the original lobsters post: https://lobste.rs/s/ko5i9y/if_you_could_redesign_linux_userland_from

I'd have init as a JavaScript runtime, probably some fork of Node that's been rewritten in a memory-safe language like Ada or Rust, and everything else in the system as JavaScript or, preferably, TypeScript programs. Basically, start from scratch and do it more safely and better. Like Android tried to but more modern.
