       If Linux and BSD had their shit together and had built layers to deal with services, storage and networking in a distributed and programmable way, maybe we would not be stuck with Kubernetes and shitty cloud services. The UNIX paradigm stopped evolving a long time ago.

       @galdor@fosstodon.org plan9 could have saved us, but the world is cruel.

       @rozenglass Given that the Plan9 clique lead to the Go language, I'm actually happy that it failed.The Lisp machine model made so much sense, but history happened.

       @galdor@fosstodon.org I would guess the surrounding community matters, Plan9 was being made at Bell Labs, Go at Google, the same people may have produced wildly different products given the different environments and different goals.  I don't claim strong familiarity with either, but Plan9 seemed to be heading towards an interesting alternate tech-tree path.  But yeah, I would choose Lisp machines over another Unix-like world any day.  But I wonder, has there been any parallels in the Lisp machines world to the distributed OS resources paradigm of Plan9?
