One of the more interesting to me is waserror()/poperror() vs. goto.

Also, I've realized nobody in Unix understands Plan 9. It took me a
while. The worst thing ever done was to say that in Plan 9, 'everything
is a file'. It's not. It would have been much better to say 'everything
is a server', maybe. But the 'everything is a file' totally muddies the
discussion, and confuses people, to the point that you actually have to
unwind the discussion and start over -- each and every time.
