I have great affinity for everything Plan 9 -- from
the superficial interface to the depths of its
methodology (although, I was recently dumped
by venti). Coding an FS backed application
is something I've always wanted to do; one that
provides an interface for something I regularly
use and understand very well, would be easier
than other things. Steve is spot-on.
And as Erik pointed out, Inferno simply isn't
Plan 9 -- though I still wouldn't mind it on top of
Plan 9 if it were not so slow over
drawterm/cpu(1) on 9vx. Would I still work on this
application? Yeah -- it's not there on Plan 9 natively,
which has its own benefits (and comfort -- see above).
Beyond that, an even more interesting application
would be an IRC server itself, which, with the
backing of an FS, could have a dual effect/usage
of both, fs attachment (for Plan 9 folks), and
the normal protocol connection (for everyone else).
This could perhaps employ the Plan 9 namespace
methodology for containing some sort of conversation-
spaces for users... "and stuff". I won't elaborate...
too many ideas popping in and out,
for otherwise menial tasks
