If you want more modern early GUIs investigate Plan 9, also by Rob Pike. Rio is like Blit and ACME is like Oberon.

- mhd 14y agoWhile the pedigree does stretch back a bit, I wouldn't call Acme "early". The paper came out in '94…
- pmarin 14y agoAcme is based on the Oberon system (1985)
- mhd 14y agoWhich in turn took quite some influence from Cedar/Mesa at Xerox. But one might as well say that KDE 4.9 (2012) is based on MacOS (1984), that doesn't make it an "early GUI" in my eyes.
- fosap 14y agoWell, that the "modern" part. The interface itself is by Writh, no idea when h published a paper about it, that the "early" part.
- gchpaco 14y agoIt is creepy how much that looks like 8 1/2 and rio. Pike clearly thought he had a good thing.
