I couldn’t resist looking, and found in http://www.osnews.com/comments/28699 "Harvey is an effort to get the Plan 9 code working with gcc and clang”. So, in a way it seems to be a port of Plan 9. More details, including the feature list below, are at http://harvey-os.org Features • AMD 64 bit • Modern, simplified syscall system • GCC toolchain means you can use gdb(!) • Compile in Linux or OSX using Harvey's headers and libs, no need to change anything else • Fast compilation of the whole system • All Plan9 userland apps available • Plans to add X11 with rio-like multiplexing, tty driver, new fileserver, native toolchain and more I’m intrigued by the “compile … using Harvey's headers and libs, no need to change anything else” — I guess that means that it will be easy to “port” stuff to Harvey? The team list contains names well-known on this list... I must say, it looks quite interesting, worth checking out. Axel. > On 25 Jul 2015, at 17:58, Ryan Gonzalez wrote: > > No clue.
