Through the years, UNIX has changed quite a lot.

Which of the changes to the Unix ecosystem surprised you the most through the years?

For me, it's been the migration of Unix from a large multi-user time-sharing system, to a small one-person-per-machine system.

Totally interesting to see FLOSS completely dominate in some markets, while remaining relatively obscure in others.

Watching the rise of the Apache Web Server ( I'm that old, yes ) and how it and now nginx ate the world of servers?

And the fact that we today have almost no popular, proprietary programming languages.

I don't really miss them.
