Yea, I was really just trying to say, Acme is part of the Plan 9 ecosystem for people that have never heard of either. For me at least, Acme is the quintessential P9 application, but I concede that it's Sam for most P9ers in history. It's probably more apt to say Acme is an excellent exemplar of the Plan 9 way. The file-based socket-y proto-RPC "plugin" way of doing things is intimately tied to Plan 9's design. And yea, Acme is different, but Sam is weird. In a good way though. I never really tried to get the hang of it, but Sam does live on in some ways (Vim Ex commands and such). I'm also not surprised that a 9front user thinks it's a good idea to be weird. Just look at your webpage and this very bizarre thing that is for some reason linked one click away on the side menu: http://9front.org/movies/ http://9front.org/movies/
