Thank you for such a thorough introduction! This sounds like such an interesting approach to an operating system, especially given that it’s something Bell Labs pursued. I’m actually wresting with some really annoying audio routing issues right now so the file abstraction for audio devices in particular sounds like a dream come true.

I’ll definitely be delving into those additional resources you linked–you may make a Plan 9 convert out of me yet!

Also you were bang-on about Lemmy not putting your first reply in my inbox because of the bot–what’s the deal with that, if you don’t mind me asking?
