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 ownershi…

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 …

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…

Love this

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,…

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…

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 need…

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…

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 contain…

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

s/o to the wip 9front ports tree, too: http://code.9front.org/hg/ports

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 ar…

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

Yeah Richard Miller just put out tentative support for the Raspberry Pi 4 for his pi port. https://9p.io/sources/contrib/miller/9/bcm/

Nice to see Inferno posted! Some Inferno related stuff: - Limbo by Example: https://github.com/henesy/limbobyexample - The Inferno Shell: http://debu.gs/entries/inferno-part-1-shel…

Make one a Plan 9/9front terminal :)

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

Plan 9?
