With the GUI out of the way, we can focus on the user-space system.
My proposals for that foundation are Plan 9 and Go (with C
for the performance parts).
ummm folks... before starting to chant "plan 9" it would behoove us to
understand what plan 9 actually is
it's primarily an extension of core concepts, specifically:
- extending the concept of all objects as files or file systems
- incorporating network communications more thoroughly
- adding the notion of private namespaces
it's a step beyond Unix, and a good one, but probably not a starting
point for "a more modular Debian ecosystem"
