Rediscovering Plan9 from Bell Labs

I've been toying around with Plan9 since about 2010, it's inspired many of my ideas about distributed systems and decentralization 👍👍👍🐰

Plan9 architecture was (still is) beautiful. I played with it way back sometimes in thelate 1990s, but never got above some simple programs. Thanks for bringing this up.
