Reply-To: 9front@9front.org Precedence: bulk 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?)
