Yeah!
Plan 9 uses files as object, and all the applications could be constructed
as a user level file server.   Yes, I agree this is the right way to us.

So, we can write many of user interfaces as scripts to write command
or data to an appropreate control or data files.   Yes, I agree.   However,
rc is the one on which we do all those work?   I don't want to live with
shell scripts even such rc.  Could we have more complete script
language for this purpose?
