Subject: [9front] Is 9front Generally Considered To Be The Successor To Plan9?
Date: Sun, 10 Mar 2024 18:01:38 -0500 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <17101116980.dc049.73423@lsd.chicago.il.us> (raw)
This is a 9front mailing list, to which Plan9 questions are routinely
asked (e.g., "What is the Plan 9 equivalent of uname?").
Is 9front widely considered to be the successor to Plan9, in the sense
that, e.g., Fortran90 is the successor to Fortran77, such that answers
descriptive of Fortran90 can be given to a question about "Fortran"?
Similarly, can an answer descriptive of 9front be given to a question
about Plan9? Or are there other incompatible operating systems that
claim to be the successor to Plan9?
(Parenthetically, and completely off-topic for this mailing list, the
most recent standardized version of Fortran is Fortran2023, but does
anyone in the real world actually use a version of Fortran that is
less than 34 years old?)
