[9fans] Plan 9 is dead

[Christoph Lohmann]

Hello,

now that an academic non-polished Plan 9 remake with idiotic
dependencies and the fun OS, which has its only goal to add
political jokes, are taking all the pace, I hereby declare,
that Plan 9 is dead.

Rest In Peace.


Sincerely,

Christoph Lohmann

excessive whimsy can be a little trying, but on a practical level,
i expect code and ideas to continue to move both ways, in some sense.

O rinnovarsi o perire

Anyway, I guess you're pissed that you have to use Hg and install
Python?  Sorry, but Plan 9 can't reinvent the wheel in 2011.

Just consider how MIT dropped Scheme for Python in intro courses.  Toy
language construction no longer precedes practical programming;
likewise, who outside 9fans would use a replica replacement?  So why
write one?  Better to focus on what counts as Sussman did with
Scheme/SICP which is instead offered to advanced students who better
appreciate it (6.945).

Plus, it's never been a committee. (Would Plan 9 seem less dead to you
if others stopped working on it?)

I don't get this, could some one point out where Mr. Lohmann got this
idea/information?

`dead' is roundaboud way of saying Plan 9 became fertile grounds for systems 
software research.

cue in the ``Systems Software Research is Irrelevant (aka utah2000 or 
utah2k)'' presentation by rob

also ``The systems you remember so fondly (TOPS-20, ITS, Multics, Lisp 
Machine, Cedar/Mesa, the Dorado) are not just out to pasture, they are 
fertilizing it from below.'' -- dmr in anti-foreword to `Unix-haters 
handbook'.

above all, have fun. i may end up installing Inferno on my N900 :-)
