Abstract
Plan 9 was intended to be Unix, done better. It pre-emptively replaced a lot of what we now bodge together with VMs, containers, and even microkernels, and it did it more simply and cleanly. But it wasn't compatible enough to replace its ancestor. With off-the-shelf existing 21st century tech, we can fix that.
