The simplified answer is using sloccount. hald : 14565 lines of C hald/linux : 10151 lines of C So, we have several solutions here: 1) HAL architecture doesn't help you to develop the os specific layer... then it's a lot of work to port it to something else 2) Linux is not helpful and then requires a lot of code to handle it correctly... then maybe for other OSes it'll be easier Of course both of this statements are not sure... That's why in my humble opinion we'll be able to have a clear opinion on HAL when it'll be ported to something else than Linux.
