It’s not UNIX but it “is” UNIX? That’s kind of all I got out of the about. Glad to see new OS design in 2022!

The idea is to take all the concepts we like about UNIX and iterate on them. It's UNIX as if it was invented now. For example, let's have a C compiler but let's add lambda and a more complete type system. Or let's have a shell, but let's have full ide like autocomplete to it. Or instead of plain text, let's use JSON

Sick. How far along is it?

Any chance of bringing in Plan9 type ideas/concepts? Ie being able to mount remote compute resources similar to mounting file systems in UNIX? (As the one real plan9-ism in mind at the moment.)
