🔮 Plan 9 was the future that I didn't know I needed.
@itsfoss

「 In the 1990s, Bell Labs carried an almost mythical reputation for me. I was a C programmer and Unix system administrator and the people at Bell Labs were the minds behind Unix and C, after all. When Plan9 was announced, it felt like the next big thing. Plan9 was an operating system that promised to rethink Unix, not just patch it up. The nerd in me couldn’t resist playing with it 」

It's FOSS · Rediscovering Plan9 from Bell LabsAn OS that was developed by the likes of Rob Pike, Ken Thompson, Brian Kernighan, Bjarne Stroustrup and yet it did not achieve the success.

Lots of things out there say that Styx was "a variant of the 9P protocol", but I haven't found anything that says what was actually different about it.

- The `typ` values that specify the message type are different (9P1 values start counting at 50, Styx starts counting at 0)
- Tcwalk/Rcwalk have been removed
- There is no authentication (so Tsession/Rsession have been removed, and Tattach/Rattach have been shortened)

There you go.
