By common definition, structural typing and duck typing end up being the exact same thing, apart from where they are evaluated. With duck typing obviously being evaluated dynamically, and structural typing being evaluated statically. Theref

Was it really necessary to try in gc...? We already talked about how it produces different instructions for the different programs. Nice of you to validate what I already said, I suppose, but this doesn't tell any of us anything we did

The "higher" levels of XNU are largely inherited from the BSD legacy, but we're clearly talking about what serves as the base. So even if you take an inheritance angle, XNU is based on Mach, not BSD. macOS is full of BSD&#x2F
