If you need any other evidence for this, just look at GOPATH and similar. That was plan9 through and through; they wanted to delegate work to the filesystem. No need for a package manager or anything, just pull down URIs and they'll be where Go wants them to be.
- ori_b 7y agoWhat are you talking about? Plan 9 doesn't even use $path. At least not consistently -- binaries live in /bin.
- p_l 7y agoIt's derived from convention of /n/sources and /n/contrib and the like. Sources mounted from network fileservers from various places, etc. The git support was added to make it a bit easier outside plan9.
