> Revitalizing Plan 9: Integrating Modern Enhancements into 9legacy
> Introduction
> Plan 9 from Bell Labs has long been recognized for its innovative approach to distributed computing. However, as hardware and software technologies advanced, the need for a more modernized version of Plan 9 became apparent. This need led to the development of 9front, a fork of Plan 9 that incorporates numerous enhancements and updates, surpassing 9legacy in several key areas. This document details these improvements, offering a comprehensive comparison of the advancements introduced in 9front over 9legacy.
