Good to see ongoing Haiku development. I tried it on an older macbook-pro a while back but couldn't get ethernet/wifi working. Perhaps I'll give it another try soon.

Also, I love how the website has that 2002 PHP-nuke cms kinda look and feel to it.

Yes, you may want to try again, others have had much better success recently, e.g. https://tinyapps.org/docs/haiku/

Well, under the hood it's Hugo + a custom Bootstrap theme on Netlify; but we are long overdue for a redesign... :p

I tried it in a VM a while back and would surely make it a daily driver once it gets to that point. It was an awesome experience.

What is the PVS tool?

It's a (commercial) static code analyzer: https://www.viva64.com/en/pvs-studio/

You could probably make a comparison between it and Clang-Analyzer (however, we've found in practice that PVS Studio gives much, much fewer false positive results.)
