   Doesn't work for me on a freshly installed MacOS High Sierra, but does work on an upgraded laptop to High Sierra. Interesting... Also the UX is different. Typing root on the fresh installed one fails, then resets the user text box to m

   Sometimes you need to wrap C APIs. Sure you could put their guts in a class or struct, but you can also use a unique_ptr for some of the same lifetime stuff. Also, defer in Go always uses the function exit, not the scope. Not sure you can d

   Linux can be upgraded without a full reboot using the now-somewhat-ancient two-kernel-monte, or kexec? Plan 9 had been able to load new kernels and such without rebooting the machine fully as well. I love when people make crazy claims like

   Well the nice thing, maybe, about Plan 9's virtualization of resources is that they all follow some 9P variant (simple protocol). 9p is v9fs in linux. There's FUSE 9p stuff for other platforms. There's a virtualized Erlang ru

    Everything is a file system. You can mount almost all things. All things have private namespaces by default. Right down to the TCP/IP stack... you can run a program called "sshnet" and connect to a remote unix box, the &#x2F

    There's Plan 9 Front. http://9front.org I've used Plan 9 a few times in the last handful of years. Someone got a reasonably good Linux emulator working enough to run Firefox. What more could you need? (ok it was fairly

    Forsyth is also "the Inferno guy" (well, one of them!). I've had a lot of fun playing around with that little OS over the years. http://vitanuova.com/inferno/index.html It can run without an MMU too. It&

    C++ will always have a leg up over D for me due to the GC stuff. I like not having GC in C++. When I want a GC'd C-like I use Go. D has to find a space between those two for me and a lot of other people. I don't dislike D. I think
