Hi All!
I've been exploring the Fuchsia operating system, and while they have
per-process namespaces, they don't have a utility like plan 9's bind, nor a
method of supporting it by default in their system libraries. I've made
some progress on adding it (https://imgur.com/HELWbrQ), but enthusias

Suggest to them that the namespace status could be exposed to javascript
and used to enhance the

propose once I've proven my worth - in which the user emails a daemon with
the site they want, which the daemon then wgets, forwards to them, and
opens up emacs.
Thanks!

Hmm... I had thought of parallel installs, but A/B testing in order to
maximize ad revenue is a brilliant application.
I have also been thinking about the potential for seamless instillation and
startup of applications - updates to app can be installed in the background
to a bound /tmp directory,

It's been years since I've used Plan 9, and I very-much miss bind and union
mount. For me, the big benefit of them is that you can hard-code well-known
names for certain files or directories, and yet you can override those
paths as needed, without having to set a bunch of environment variables and

This is my concern as well. Combined with the fact the OS only has an IRC
channel (which I'm constantly concerned I'm wearing out my welcome in) and
the tepid response so far, part of the reason I came
Note that Fuschia is a microkernel. Does it provide a filesystem
interface? It's possible this wouldn't be adopted simply because it's
not in scope for the core system, and it's something that a system
module could implement without requiring maintenance.

Hi dho! Yes, it does, and the code I've modified to introduce the ability
to perform bind is a modification of the rudimentary binding their
interface already provided (top-level directory binds only, previously,
