- alrs 6y agoWith a current release, but far enough out in the long tail of relevancy to have AmigaOS and the x86 port of VMS as neighbors.
- pjmlp 6y agoA project that ignores the actual work that Plan 9 authors did to improve distributed OS programming by keeping alive a middle stop on the train ride instead of the final destination. For example, Rob Pike was quite unhappy to give up on Alef for Plan 9, and finally realized his ideas with Limbo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alef_(programming_language) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alef_(programming_language) http://doc.cat-v.org/plan_9/2nd_edition/papers/alef/ http://doc.cat-v.org/plan_9/2nd_edition/papers/alef/ So worshipping Plan 9 while ignoring Inferno is doing a disservice to their authors contribution to distributed computing platforms.
- gjvc 6y agoace. thank you for the clarification / insight :-)
- TallGuyShort 6y agoI feel like a little Inferno legacy lives on best in Go, but honestly I've been reading that site for 20 minutes and I can't even begin to classify it.
- pjmlp 6y agoEasy, start with the 4th edition introduction, and then follow up into the book. http://doc.cat-v.org/inferno/4th_edition/ http://doc.cat-v.org/inferno/4th_edition/ http://doc.cat-v.org/inferno/books/inferno_programming_with_limbo/ http://doc.cat-v.org/inferno/books/inferno_programming_with_... Along the way you can get a copy of Inferno from Vita Nuova to try stuff out. For Go to be fully like Limbo, it needs to finish dynamic loading support.
