>From time to time, I hear something about plan9. After some searching and reading, I still don't quite understand what make it special. As far as I can understand, it basically maps everything as files. But in the end, it is just a protocol. All the underneath services (file, network, dns, etc) are still needed to be implemented. Then how does it better than other approaches like URL (file://, http://, etc) ? I think it is close to CoreObject, which to me, is also just unified everything in the same interface/protocol but still need to implement everything underneath, which does not really solve the problem.
By the way, there is a MIT-license implementation of 9p protocol (http://www.suckless.org/wiki/libs). Yen-Ju _______________________________________________ Etoile-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/etoile-discuss
