@iska plan9 looks interesting but I don't have time to learn enough to make it useful. I imagine if you actually know how to use it the pitfalls are easier to avoid.

@iska I think the fact that it is a largely ignores ecosystem probably makes it somewhat less likely that you'll find easy exploit scripts targeting it which could be seen as a security boost on some level.

@thatguyoverthere I think it's really good from design (not UI design though 😅) perspective, which makes it attractive for those who want to build things from the ground up — problem is, there are few people like that, most are interested in using something that is only slightly better than what they already have.

@thatguyoverthere Problem is, modern protocols and even hardware require a lot of workarounds to function properly in real world scenarios, but linux kernel had already accumulated a sizeable momentum in this regard, which makes it a more attractive choice to most, despite it being an absolutely horrible piece of garbage 🤷
