I 100% agree with this and was just talking about this in another thread on one of my earlier comments. I love what Plan 9 and Oberon was working on. I feel many are feeling similar at this point given the frequency I'm running into this and also I myself wanting to solve for it. Awesome! I think the networking layer should be built off of http://PJON-technologies.com http://PJON-technologies.com - it's perfect for standardizing the next layer of networking and without depending on any ISP or centralized authority that also has support for multiple "packet/connection" protocols (LoraWAN, Light, Ethernet, and more). I am going through a history lesson right now on studying older OS's and why they didn't take off while also getting my feet wet with Forth and lower-level hardware experiments. I still have no idea how video truly works, that's something that's been bugging me from a first principles perspective and I want to understand that more intuitively. Something I keep asking myself is: "How do I poke at the video card and make it display stuff without having to use a OS level API that wraps openGL or similar?" - I know some will be shocked at that question and some may go "woah, actually I don't know that" - we're in an interesting generational leap with where knowledge has been in the zeitgeist of computation and networks. The OG's are in a particular precious bucket where they've done their part and not that active or have been yelling the current stack is wrong but it's hard to find their voices. Then you have the hackers and hardware folk who learned a lot pre-internet that may or may not be active on the typical net's hanging out only in Plan 9 esoteric rooms saying how good the internet was before marketing took over, and then the dot com boom generation which either knows the earlier internet or thinks the internet is only social media and search engines. I want to make the internet feel adventurous and fun again like the 90's. I want it to be focused on individuals and not organizations. It was exciting because you connected to people, today you don't do that anymore - you interface with some centralized entity that exposes you to products. I have more to say here that is a lot more nuanced but you get my gist. Urbit is doing something similar to what you're saying, however I personally don't like their networking model and a few other decisions that just feel contrived to me. Plus I want to get my feet wet and understand the layers myself from a first principles perspective so I can add to it as I am imagining it. Sounds like a new dawn of innovation is bubbling.
