>Yes, they moved into Inferno, and implemented Alef ideas in Limbo. No to 9front, 9legacy AND Inferno.

  The creators of plan9 are not involved in 9front, and I don't think they were ever involved with 9legacy, unless I've missed something. I believe 9front's (rather colorful) user manual pointedly remarks that the original authors of plan9 have long since abandoned the project.

    >The creators of plan9 are not involved in 9front Nor are they in Inferno anymore, but one big name Forsyth in 2017

  Pike, Thompson, Presotto, Collyer, McKie, none of these people contribute to either 9front or 9legacy, beyond providing the original Plan 9 code base which underlies all the forks.

    And nor do they to inferno: https://bitbucket.org/inferno-os/inferno-os/commits/?page=3 https://bitbucket.org/inferno-os/inferno-os/commits/?page=3

      No one is speaking about the present. Plan 9 and Inferno are done, historical OSes to learn from and apply in new OS designs.

        >Plan 9 and Inferno are done No they are not, Inferno is still maintained and so is 9front, and Coraid for example uses Plan9 as embedded firmware (EthOS).

          Nothing has been added besides keeping them running on new hardware, which boils down to being done.

            That's not true, a new Filesystem (hjfs) was made for 9front and lots of other stuff: http://fqa.9front.org/fqa1.html#1.3.1 http://fqa.9front.org/fqa1.html#1.3.1
