Subject: [9fans] Feature backport from Inferno
Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2015 21:09:52 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <54D34F80.4090409@ramos.id.au> (raw)
Hi 9fans,
Long time lurker, go easy please :-)
I understand that Plan 9 is alive these days via its forks - 9atom,
9front and 9legacy (not a fork!), and (perhaps?) Inferno less so; but is
there any functionality in Inferno which would benefit Plan 9 but was
never ported?
I know Plan 9 4th Edition's 9P changes were included in Inferno, but
what about the other way? Admittedly, my experience with Inferno is
minimal, but were advancements to, e.g. wm or sh implemented in rio and rc?
The only info I could find is Roger Peppe's paper on The Inferno Shell
(http://doc.cat-v.org/inferno/4th_edition/inferno_shell), which mentions
that sh was influenced by rc.
