That conversation was interesting! It seemed Matt was a pretty prescient
guy. The "supports the latest standards...whose?" bit gave me a chuckle.
There wasn't too much
Oh, and for anyone who hates web pages but were on the mailing list back
then, it is the "[9fans] Gecko based web browser" thread from 2000-07-18.

Wow,
That sounds cool.

Not exactly what you meant but Coraid did implement a something like this
that had 9p on it. Sort of. It was an ARM based PCIe card spoke 9p over
something like IL without the IP (bwc called it EL) using network ports on
the card.
Sometimes they appear on ebay as "coraid mass storage NIC" or som

I was thinking more along the lines of hardware implementation of 9P minus any
OS. For example, a disk serves up a filesystem via 9P or an Ethernet device
serving a /net with 9P.

Well, it's happened, so now we have two shitty OS: chrome on top of

It already has: the Raspberry Pi is built round a SoC...
...all that's needed is to boot from SoC ROM instead of the SD card.

If plan 9 had taken off I wonder if there would be peripherals with built-in 9P
support.
For example, a network adapter that you can mount into /net/etherxyz over USB,

It's hard to have a technical argument about this, because technical
consideration was never a big driver of web "technologies".

Hi,
I have been pondering the same kind of thing myself lately. In an alternate
bizarro universe, what would the web look like that is modelled more around
plan 9 concepts. Here's my fantastic take on this.
First, there is a focus on simplicity of implementation and interface over
flashiness o
