Hm, that looks interesting. I like what that they are trying to make plan 9 a bit more accessible by using familiar programs and closing the gap between modern unix and the plan 9 ideas. However, I think I'll rather keep vanilla plan 9 or 9front (rio is still better than X11, sorry). But nontheless, it's a great idea and I hope they keep up the great work.

So, in a way it seems to be a port of Plan 9. More details, including the feature list below, are at http://harvey-os.org[http://harvey-os.org] Features • AMD 64 bit • Modern, simplified syscall system • GCC toolchain means you can use gdb(!) • Compile in Linux or OSX using Harvey's headers and libs, no need to change anything else • Fast compilation of the whole system • All Plan9 userland apps available • Plans to add X11 with rio-like multiplexing, tty driver, new fileserver, native toolchain and more I’m intrigued by the “compile … using Harvey's headers and libs, no need to change anything else” — I guess that means that it will be easy to “port” stuff to Harvey? The team list contains names well-known on this list... I must say, it looks quite interesting, worth checking out. Axel.

Things that for traditional Plan 9 would be very difficult to have. -- Sent from my Nexus 5 with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity. -- Sent from my Nexus 5 with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
