how's that comparable? the broken promise is that web code will be contained in the browser tab so nobody needs to trust that code. and we can just run it. that assumption is proven over and over again to not be true due to bugs in the interpreter and bugs in the massive libraries exposed to it and now theres a case where its broken even if there is no obvious flaw in the interpreter. nobody promised, or tried to do that with a plan9 process. code running in plan9 can do whatever you can do. and easily crash the whole system. so you obviouly need to be cautous about what you run. and yes, you should read the code. -- cinap
