QNX is going to have better hardware support, plan 9 seems more interesting from a distributed system point of view. Why not the plan 9 follow on, Inferno? It comes with a VM for other oses so you could get linux or windows contributors.
- wrp 17y agoThe portability of Inferno is really impressive, but from what I can tell, you are limited to using the Limbo language for it. I also haven't found any discussion of how easy it is to port Unix tools to Inferno. Is it more difficult than porting to Plan 9?
- stonemetal 17y agoThat I am not sure. From what I have read they claim to have spent about 90% of their time on the project making it unix compatible. How easy they made it to port I don't know.
