I just ran into Plan 9 two days ago while surfing, it impressed me QUITE a
bit but then it seemed that everything I could find was old and I
also found some trash-talk....
I've been doing hierarchical visualizations and it caught my eye that they
1) Treat everything as files (okay, this is fine really)
2) Allow siblings to have the same names, differentiated by type.
- so we use homonyms and synonyms everyday;
why does this seem so shocking to me?
