Lovely, I&#x27;m going to read. When I was doing my thesis I was adamant that I&#x27;d talk about Plan 9. The literature survey kept pointing at Sprite and Amoeba as the two systems that had the most similar goals at the time.<p>Since then I keep thinking that the term &quot;system&quot; refers to a distributed system of components, something that has grown beyond the single hardware OS paradigm ever since networks were invented. I have a little bit too much trouble understanding why people would not consider Go a &quot;systems language&quot; only because they think a system is a single hardware entity...
