Thanks, Giacomo. I have no illusions of being the smartest person in the
room or anything above mediocre, but I think there's a good chance the
people at Bell Labs were in that category. Hopefully, if I try to follow
their design ideas, I can at least play at being smart for a bit. And, if I

On this point, I'd suggest a slight shift of perspective. This is something

Yeah, I've gone into this fully knowing they have no obligation to respond
- and to be honest, even if I were a team member, they'd still have no
obligation; I'm not leaders

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,
with an
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.

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
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

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,

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
