Open Source Developers at Google: Amit Singh on MacFuse

File systems provide one of the most familiar interfaces end users know. Since implementing a traditional file system is extremely complex and difficult, presenting information seamlessly through files and folders has typically been limited to a small set of select programmers--often kernel hackers who develop at the lowest layers of a system. The MacFUSE mechanism breaks this barrier on Mac OS X by doing all the in-kernel hard work once and for all and leaving to the developer only the file-system-specific logic, which can be implemented as a regular user-space application. MacFUSE, with its simple programmer-visible API (same as the Linux FUSE API) and multiple language bindings, almost trivializes the process of making anything and everything appear seamlessly as a set of files and folders. You can use it to blur the line between the Macintosh Desktop and the Web. In this talk, you will hear the story of MacFUSE from its creator.

Hello, I REALLY enjoyed Amit Singh's speech regardless of what other people thought. I enjoyed the history he went through to take us up to the present and show us the future for what improvements macFuse can do. I am curious how it is evolving and would love to see some follow ups, thanks :) I agree with Amit and would love to see this project become apart of the file system technology for further improvements!

9 months ago and this video is still more relevant than your comment. You don't say what your interests are, but I'm sure YouTube isn't just for You. Sure he's not a professional presenter, but he is a professional programmer. The subtleties of his comments are lost on guys who aren't in the know. There's a whole lot going on in his comments, even in the things he doesn't say, because we who know can tell he would have said something about it if it were important. He didn't "not" say much.

Amit bhai, great job. Good think you weren't in my technical writing/speaking class, that racist bitch of a prof would have massacared you.
