My answer to the title is "no" for the same reason we're still using email protocols designed in 1985. I guess the counterpoint would be systemd.

TFA says "Therefore, we argue that the POSIX era is over, and future designs need to transcend POSIX." So they're actually not answering their own question, they're saying "the answer should be x" which is subtly different. There are a lot of should-be's in computing.

Since I moved into managed languages I never cared about POSIX any longer, as long as the runtime supports the underlying hardware, OS or hypervisor, I am good.

Ironically, while I am an heavy email user, at work it is mostly used for internal newsletters, all the communication happens over Slack.

wake me up when you can signup to a tiktok account using slack.

slack replaced your internal, HR monitored, internal IM. Not email. Just so happens that lots of places were using email as their IM solution.

I don't use tiktok either way, so I guess you will be sleeping for a long time.

In case you missed part of my comment I mention the small detail of being an avid email user, but of course you needed to do some tiktok marketing.
