p9p gives you a runtime environment just like Plan 9s. From the point
of view of a programmer you can even pretend you're not in a POSIX
world.It's wonderful but there are times when people want the
functionality (e.g. venti server) but not using p9p libraries, but
POSIX libraries.
We hit that issue a lot in the early days of xcpu. The first few
versions were very much p9p code. Users complained about the need for
the extra libraries and unfamiliar programming environment. Later
versions of xcpu were all POSIX, no p9p at all.
Hope I said that right.
