 @klardotsh @khm Plan9 C, make something. https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/plan9_c.html @klardotsh @neauoire the people who made go are the people who made plan 9; go supports plan 9. we had a python port but we deleted it when we moved off Mercurial. rc is a *fantastic* scripting language. there are various forths, a lisp, and uxn. but C is all you need.  @khm @klardotsh @neauoire without doubt, Plan 9 C is the best C. It's highlevel where it needs to be, it's lowlevel like you're used to. Plan 9 provides many good libraries for all system interactions, even smaller stuff like parsing parameters easily. Also system code is very readable, especially compared with other OSes. And you get great tools like g, src, ... |
this window manager is not yet growing on me, but the FQA, cat-v, and @khm are starting to open my eyes a bit to some genuinely cool thinking in plan9
the example of webfs replacing the need to dynamically (or statically, for that matter) link something like libcurl into every binary is... bananas. FUSE taken to the logical extreme, perhaps
hey @neauoire you sent me down this cursed+blessed rabbit hole, what do you recommend I play with in here?
