Is it worth adding that in Inferno all libraries are shared as is all
of memory - seamlessly and safely? Always has been - always will be.

And there is no bloody mmap() in sight.

Also I believe that every bad science fiction movie is analogous to a
computer science moral play. And the more the movie tries to make
sense the bigger the lesson to be learnt. Of course Plan9 chose the
worst movie for the best lessons-that-have-been-learnt.

Just making it up - I seem to be the last foreign 9fan in town.
