The sad part is that there are too many ideas of old systems lost in a world that 30 years later seems too focused on putting Linux distributions everywhere.

Some people seem to like throwing around "modern" as a buzzword. I tend to automatically filter that out.

Plan 9 is novel compared to Unix which almost every OS in common use mimics. But the reference to Plan 9 was more as a nod to its namespace and suitability for distributed computing which partially inspired my design.

That's still newer than Linux's system design.
