There are many 9P implementations (most of which run on *nix systems): http://9p.cat-v.org/implementations http://9p.cat-v.org/implementations I think somebody was working on one in lua, but I don't know if they finished it. If you write a Lua implementation or a lua wrapper for an existing C implementation let me know.

Will do. (I'll probably wrap libixp.)

  Please let us know if you shoot some code. It could be a good open source project, according to the interest. I'd personally go for defining a community whitepaper / wiki maybe for the concept and solutions. What do you think? In the mean time we can build some prototypes on different platforms. The real reason why we don't know how and if this interaction model would work in practice - is the obvious absence of implementations.

    I'm looking at it now. I'm working on OpenBSD, and just updated the port to libixp-0.5 - that'll get posted once I test it more. A Lua client library for libixp should be pretty straightforward, looking at the source for ixpc. I might have that together this afternoon (particularly if my fiancee continues napping ;) ). As for a server library, I'm still thinking about it, but passing an init function a table with callbacks for the various messages would be pretty straightforward - similar to LuaExpat's design (http://www.keplerproject.org/luaexpat/manual.html http://www.keplerproject.org/luaexpat/manual.html). I'm silentbicycle on twitter, FWIW.

I have a very early Lua client library for libixp up at http://silentbicycle.com/projects/lua-ixp-0.1.tar.gz http://silentbicycle.com/projects/lua-ixp-0.1.tar.gz now. The walk function (which returns an iterator, successively returning tables with each file's stats in a directory) is not complete, it's terminating after the first file sometimes. I'll smooth that out once the server side of the library is together and testing can be self-contained. I'd like to work on the server library sometime next week, but I'm pretty busy. Is there a better place to contact you with updates?
