/**

 * Overview

 */

Haiku is a POSIX-compliant desktop OS for personal computers.
It has it's own micro kernel built taking multi-threading in mind. Meaning it's not a distribution of linux.
This also means Haiku has a modular design. It has servers in user-land that provide much of it's functionality.

Haiku is written in C++ and provides an object-oriented API for apps to communicate with it.
