The other comments are correct that there's value in returning a value even if it was passed in to make chaining functional calls easier. This can get a little tricky when ownership comes in to play since you don't want to end up

The first version I implemented did allocate and return the allocated output buffer, but I scrapped that design I never changed the return value after I did this and didn’t see an issue at the time For the record, this program was written c

Author here. While the other comments are correct, the exact reason for this use of providing in/out is that the reversal is called on a subset of the incoming array. line = Brdstr(in, '\n', 1); will give us a null-ter

Yes, /bin is a directory where the bind[1] command can be used to multiplex/union other directories on top. The / directory in general is built this way as a virtual top directory, with the disk root being stored on /roo

I generally prefer mk to make, I just find the way multiple mkfiles compose and some of the syntax changes pleasant. A small change, but being able to just do $foo instead of $(foo) is so nice.

It's a really early draft, but here's the base for an awesome-inferno repository: https://github.com/henesy/awesome-inferno

Inferno instances are really meant to be compartments for individual programs more than a desktop OS in and of itself. Dis VM instances are super light… you wouldn't really be needing to worry much about running a large number of them.

Yeah zones especially, I agree.

This exists and to a pleasant effect! http://doc.cat-v.org/inferno/4th_edition/styx-on-a-brick/ The ev3dev project is partially inspired by everything is a file and I've used it in the past for education

Linux containers feel like a very weak imitation of what they could be under an environment like Plan9 imo. Linux lacks a lot of core abstraction properties that would make containers elegant to implement under something like the Plan9 mode

As long as your processor supports vmx ofc Just ask aux/icanhasvmx :) Manuals: - http://man.cat-v.org/9front/1/vmx - http://man.cat-v.org/9front/3/vmx

The concept here is fairly profound and you could make the analogy of power to something like Lisp. Lisp everything is a symbol, in Plan9 everything is a file and all namespaces are mutable. This concept is combined in the Interim OS experi

Yeah idk why people have this notion. Last 9front commit was… 3 days ago: http://code.9front.org/hg/plan9front/

Great to see RISC-V news make it public. Always glad to find more Plan 9 hobby projects to learn from :)

One of the best parts of the Plan 9 system is that all of the kernel/command/library source is on hand and readily available to consult at any given time. Jointly, an important detail is that the complexity of said source is kept

Being able to browse the Go source so easily and clearly is a fantastic way to both learn and grow in understanding of the language. It's definitely helped me as I've learned and written in Go over the years.
