Yay! A "C++ vs the world" flamewar! Again. Let me just point out that writing a game engine consists of a little bit more than just calls to opengl. Game engine programmers tend to embed scripting languages in their engines as opposed to writing the engines in Java, C#, Python or Lua. P.S. Coinci

I'm sure I must not understand the problem fully and am confused because of that, but how is this idea of multidimensionality different from a relational filesystem approach such as befs ( http://www.nobius.org/~dbg/practical-file-system-design.pdf)? 2012/8/5 > On Sun, Aug 05, 2012 at 11:29:19AM

This question has been bugging me for some time and I haven't found any discussions on the matter. It seems that at least the devices support could go into the original plan9 kernel. What's the reason for having a fork?

If all you want to do is try plan9 out, you can install it in a VM such as qemu, virtualbox or vmware. If you like it enough that you want to contribute to it, it's probably better to start with developing user-level apps rather than dive straight into the kernel. 2010/12/14 Bodó Abel > Greeting

Hi list! I've been trying to install plan9 today, on a qemu vm. When trying to install from local the installer seems unable to find quite a few files in plan9's src directory. It seems there's some problem with the cdimage. I tried booting from the floppy image, but got stuck at the point where on
