Apple File System
The spartan description of APFS certainly sounds like the (partial) feature list for ZFS--the comparisons made in the comments here are on-point. ZFS though took around 5 years to ship and, arguably, another 5-10 to get right. I say this having shipped multiple products based on ZFS, writing code in ZFS, and diagnosing production problems with it.<p>On-disk consistency ("crash protection"), snapshots, encryption, and transactional interfaces ("atomic safe-save") will no doubt be incredibly valuable. I don't think though though that APFS will dramatically improve upon the time it took ZFS to mature from a first product to world-class storage.<p>Some commenters have opined that (despite Apple distributing ZFS for Mac OS X at WWDC nearly a decade ago) that ZFS would never be appropriate for the desktop, phone, or watch. True ZFS was designed for servers and storage servers, but I don't think there's anything that makes it innately untenable in those environments--even its default, but not essential, use of lots of RAM.<p>Who knows... maybe Apple have spent the decade since killing their internal ZFS port taking this new filesystem though the paces. Its level of completeness though would suggest otherwise.
