Sorry for the top post. Well, I think we got Go in 2009, which was very clearly inspired by the history of plan 9 programming. Maybe I’m unimaginative, but when I think of “where would one go from Plan 9 C”, it’s not much different from where we are.
I think if there was a “rethink” of what plan 9 C would be, it would include some more native RPC concepts. —dho On Wed, Sep 2, 2026 at 23:01 <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wednesday, September 02, 2026, at 1:19 PM, Bakul Shah wrote: > > What I would love to see is not a rewrite but a rethink and a new take on > plan9 concepts with a new implementation.
