Hi Mohit, Group, Yes, I too have fooled around a bit trying to understand plan9 and also inferno many years back.
At the time I was highly impressed with it's design and it's ideas of taking unix philosophy one step further.. By thinking of all system resources in terms of files, streams and mount-points. at the time I was a big enough fan of Brian Kernighan and the unix bunch etc to also get a job offer at Bell Labs /Lucent Tech- which existed and seemed to have a bright future at the time, but somewhere along the way I changed tracks. However in hindsight, I wonder how useful or relevant these concepts are in today's era of gui and touch computing- wherein I feel that many of the MS Windows idioms(eg: ole , dde, com, IDispatch interfaces) are better conceptualized and more practical. Regards, Nalin ps:posted from mobile so pardon top posting.
