You have to keep wondering if plan9 is so great, why nobody uses it really. Is it a conspiracy, or is it that plan9 is not that great after all?


Everybody uses Plan9, it's called "The Web" now.


>why nobody uses it really

If i where you i would stop use argumentation's like that.

OpenVMS has still the best Clustering tech...why is "nobody" using it? And btw p9 is very much used (WSL for example).

Linux is for sure not the best kernel, not for server not for desktop and not for mobile...it's good enough and everyone circles around it, it has some bacon for everyone (even if the bacon is sometimes disgusting).

Same with unix in itself...it's good enough.

Some years ago you could argue that everyone uses mysql...why even bother with that postgresql-thing.
