       #9front is not actually for purity or nerd points.#9front is to Unix as using a keyboard and a screenagainst a deck of cards and a printer.If any it's about the reverse...X11 it's that deck of cards. Compared it to Rio.The convoluted sh syntax is that deckcompared to rc:ALSA is that deck of cards compared to the devices in /dev and audio/mixfs.Ever dreamt on just putting 'pulseaudio &' and everything justworked under your login? You can't now?look at the find(1) syntax of Unix.Now check 'du -a | grep whatever'.How many wireless/net/routing/firewalltools do you manage at once? Several?Heh...NFS/SMB/Webdav and whatnot: check the mount(1) counterparts.This list is not concise, as 9front has tons of newusable commands (not Unix-like) and yet they are sane.https://9p.io/wiki/plan9/Unix_to_Plan_9_command_translation/index.htmlWhat is actually doing Unix now? - config managers- software dependency managers- dependency managing managersOTOH, I'm seeing more interesting stuff from *small* software programmers. Simple games, even computer-lessgames as Scoundrel/Donsol. New FS'for 9front, still in beta,but far better than these enterpresey behemothsfor #GNU/Linux and not ready yet license wise.On the long term #gefs has better odds to stabilizethan BTRFS.The ANSI C and whatnot ports for Scoundrel:gopher://luxferre.top Small Lisp VM's, runnable in potatos, even able to dointegration and whatnot with very little.Forth are fun, but you need some $100 money spent on Math and CS books in order to understandscilib and be able to port it to EForthand Subleq.https://t3x.orghttps://github.com/howerj/muxleqAlso, there's Algol68 back, the smallML language from T3X and so.If some scientists used an off-the-shelfamd64 machine and with very little ANSI Ccode they curb-stomped some propietary NVIDIACUDA machine runnig badly simulated glacialmovement related diff eqns... so can you with books and small software done right.
