2009-12-03 Thread Steve Simon
Just idle curiosity, anyone any opinions on Concurrent C a language which looked very exciting in the early 1990s but which never seemed to go anywhere - perhaps it was a distant ancestor of alef? http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.47.850 I looked at some alef again

[9fans] rc.vim rc shell vim syntax file

You can get it at vim.org: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2880 This vim syntax file is made for the rc for unix port. Though I think it will also be helpful for rc on plan9 since the syntax is quite similar. The bugs of rc on plan9 I can think of: * 'not' in 'if not' won't

libdispatch is in FreeBSD now, and people are using it to write concurrent C code. I think they even have blocks, and the clang compiler front end working too. I believe the earliest, least-experimental branch of code is FreeBSD-STABLE for the 8 series, but I'll double check. Dave On Thu, Dec

[9fans] Input/output

2009-12-03 Thread Maurí­cio CA
Hi, I would like to write a script that takes text from standard input, lets the user edit it with 'sam -d' and then prints it to standard output. Do you think that makes sense? After all, 'sam -d' needs standard input and output in order to edit anything. Thanks, Maurício

[9fans] Remus: High Availability via Asynchronous Virtual Machine Replication

This appears to be an interesting way of solving an HA problem: http://nss.cs.ubc.ca/remus/papers/remus-nsdi08.pdf It is also different from a typical approach of checkpointing in HPC. One thing that I'm wondering about though is whether Plan9 architecture of things like /net and /dev/sd
