> What advantages do you find to this, over pure capability systems?
The most important aspect of Plan 9's design is that its unusual
properties all derive from the use of files, a concept every computer
user and programmer is comfortable with. For example, make every
resource file-like, add a network file system, and suddenly every
resource can not only be accessed remotely, the users easily grasp how
to do so. This really is the crux of the system: a combination that
combines ease of composability with familiarity.
