Not trying to disparage but: how is Inferno a complete break from Plan9 ? I mean there's some fundamentally breaking changes (it's just(TM) a VM, the language is brand new) but I don't feel like they're the kind of changes that revolutionized the way we do computing compared to Plan9, the way Plan9 did over Unix.
Now of course that doesn't mean Inferno doesn't have its own merits: limbo is a probably an important step towards the kind of programing that Go enables
