philosophy
Looks like people like terminal-centric and keyboard-driven interfaces. More usual expirience for UNIX users.
UNIX legacy was not so bad that it should be so easily abandoned.
If you don’t like it - just not use it.
This is attempt to re-create a development environment where:
- No mouse needed
- Apps could be expandable
- CUA - one love
The project will adhere to the key ideas of UNIX:
- Every program does one thing and does it well
- Text-based interfaces prevail over graphical ones
- Composition via pipelines instead of monolithic applications
- Simplicity of implementation is more important than functional redundancy
◈ key goals
- Reincarnation of terminal-centric interface for Plan 9
- Integration with modern systems via plan9port
- Educational resource on the history of operating systems
- Minimalistic alternative to modern tools
