   By that stupid joke I meant that's a good thing, it's best for it to stay niche.
   >but there is literally no security built into it
   There is literally an entire paper written about it's security architecture. It's quite nice.

     It's too bad everyone stopped at p9 and didn't go full inferno with exportable namespaces where a remote desktop application was merely a shell script.

     Here is a white paper that does a great job in the first two pages of giving you a summary.
     
     It really doesn't get the attention it deserves, it's really really cool, a further development of p9.

     @tyler @charlie_root @kirby @sysrq That is a good paper. I was mostly asking which thing you meant rather than what you were talking about.
     
     If you haven't seen Octopus, Octopus is very interesting. I ran it a little while (takes some tweaks to get it to build in $anno_domini Inferno) and I like the idea but there's a lot you have to build from scratch. But the way it's modeled gives you basically a fully serializable UI, and this means it can be reset to previous states or history preserved (consider combining it with venti) or transported or, since the structure is recursive, maybe you open a previous state in a panel and compare to the current one. (Shit like that sure as hell makes "I put the output of `git status` in my prompt" look like crayon scribbles.)
