Re: [9fans] equality sign in Rc

[Sean Callanan]

Sure, and that's the 'quoted equality sign' dexen was complaining about in
the first place.

When you're hand-writing a command it probably becomes muscle memory pretty
quickly, but for people who often copy-paste commands or run them straight
out of files, I'm sure they've been aggravated by this far more often than
they've used rc's = syntax for its intended purpose.

in fact all my machines are using zx now, a 9p descendant. I'm quite happy with 
it.

I'm afraid it's what they are trying to achieve with webassebly.

And in a way Inferno was doing the same, wasn't it.

I agree that in a network, several different os should be able to work
together seemlessy.

But despite my efforts in Jehanne I don't think the key to achieve this is
a os, nor a language. IMHO the key is a better general purpose protocol, as
simple as 9p but able to replace http.

I don’t now if clive or not,

but, I think the world has changed and I’d like to get a plan9 like environment
but considering as the HW all the machines I use, including their OS as the new 
“HW”.

I’ve been trying to do that since the octopus, clive was just another attempt; 
ideas are welcome :-)

Re: [9fans] equality sign in Rc

[Sean Callanan]

I can't speak for dexen, but I would love to be able to run

cc -DFOO=bar file.c

or similar commands with button 2 in Acme.  What I get instead is

rc: line 2: token '=': syntax error
