Re: [9fans] crazy idea - drawterm in javascript?

i don't know what compromise you're talking about; anything that can
implement and use 9P is a legitimate component to attach to Plan 9.
browsers are the predominant way that users connect to the Net;
websockets in html5 provide the ability to establish a full duplex tcp
connection. why shouldn't we want to use the browser as a 9P server or
client?
