I love reading these little blurbs about Plan9. I haven't played around with it too much but it feels very "modern" (I know it's old). What are some of the ways a beginner can get into Plan9? Can I use it as a Desktop Op

Ruby is just "gem install rails", but IMO this discussion is misguided: initial setup time doesn't make much difference in the long run. If we're talking "how easy can a user get started", JavaScript wins by fa
