so far, every single question i have asked chatgpt about the plan9 rc shell has resulted in a wrong answer.
Have you tried perplexity? Have had good luck with technical questions
i tried it. same deal. it gives all rc shell examples using mixtures of posix and bash shell syntax. ima hafta do it the old fashioned way and lern me things.
I looked into #plan9 recently, pondering about using it as a base for my work, but got the feeling that I'd quickly be impacted by some capability missing.
i cant get a read quite yet. im sold on the paradigm. and regardless of how far i go with it, the rc shell is my main shell now. and the acme editor is incredibly powerful. i may wind up just using the plan9 port to unix, but for now ive some more digging to do. the ‘everything is a file’ paradigm is alot of fun. there is just alot there to explore.
the idea i cant shake with plan9 is nostr as a file system. but i have a ways to go before i could even wrap my head around that
