i take a lot of inspiration from plan 9, but a lot of the distributed computing architecture that it is built around is severely outdated and based on a lot of untrue assumptions. for example, you can't really expect to have always-on, low latency internet access. especially if you get anywhere near a mobile context. without good networking plan 9 falls on its ass. so you have to consider, how do you implement the shape of plan 9, without depending on the mythical "reliable network"? i don't have an answer exactly, but i am looking for one[0]. we are using the linux kernel because hardware support and you don't really need any special kernel features to implement a plan 9-like (read the paper, they didn't to anything special kernel-wise). i'm in the process of copying my offline notes into our wiki, so uh stay tuned or whatever. i'm hoping to publish a really early preview build some time next week, but we'll see how far i get while i'm on holiday. it'll be soon in any case.
