Sometimes i wonder how our os's would look like if the plan9/inferno idea could catch on.

Android is the closest to it, currently.

Managed runtime on top of UNIX like kernel and OS IPC everywhere.

That’s only tangentially similar to Inferno, and completely unlike Plan9.

Even for Inferno the idea was to make the system flexible, Android is everything but.

Lol. Accessing a file in android is a mess.

Depends on the point of view regarding OS APIs.

As a user i do not use APIs. I use apps. And every attempt to save something is an exercise in pain.

>OS IPC everywhere.

Just inside the device ;)

[pjmlp]

Everywhere was intended on the context of OS stack.
