Very much a fan of this, of the 9p life. What times seeing a shell on the web with 9p access!

9p is very shell coded, as we see here, but I also really want to imagine going further. I want to imagine apps and systems that interoperate via small fine grained files. As a scripting environment, I really hope it's easy and fun for programs and now llms to look at and alter state, to work other systems, and 9p feels like it is rallying around a core truth that's there all the time just more of it, more files. Instead of descending beyond the os into deeper datastructures like toml.

A downside is that now you need lots of kernel syscalls to talk to all the files. That alas has not, historically, been performant.
