HelpCertainly B grew from the idea that one program should tell another what to do. HelpWhether it's natural is not for me to judge; also there was a lot of time involved and it took two versions (Inferno and Plan 9) to get a design I was comfortable with. -Helprob [-- Attachment #2: Type: message/rfc822, Size: 1693 bytes --] From: "Boyd Roberts" <boyd@fr.inter.net> To: <9fans@cse.psu.edu> Subject: [9fans] plumb Date: Sun, 2 Dec 2001 00:57:32 +0100 Message-ID: <02a101c17ac3$f150cba0$a4b6c6d4@cybercable.fr> HelpWould I be right in surmising that plumb was a natural progression from B?

I'm still nervous that the app and the programs that plumber launches have unrelated namspaces. In a full blown Actor style system, there would be closures that made it all work, but maybe Plan 9 could pass the information around by hand. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

There's still plenty of interesting research to do in the design of name spaces. We have a long list of issues that we'd like to address, this being one of them. -rob ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
