getting it right:
- less code in plan 9 than in most configure scripts (hard to believe but true)
- plan 9 memory management code is 1 file, linux is 55
- almost no assembly in plan 9 ; # lines assembly is GROWING in linux
- growth of linux code size is exponential (this is part of the
getting it right issue)
it's always good to have a system that gets closer to getting it right
around, as a reminder if nothing else.
