@phrawzty reminded me of "astro" and "scat" on plan9. For some reason #plan9 came with a couple of pretty interesting tools for astronomy.

@tmcfarlane

Ooh #plan9, good reference.

Argh now I have to somehow not abandon all of my responsibilities and tumble down that rabbit hole

@tmcfarlane

The 9P protocol was so friggen good. Everything is a file even when it absolutely doesn't make sense. It was stateless. It presaged object storage and microservices. It used protocol buffers ffs!

@phrawzty there's a fantastic walk through of acme by @rsc on youtube that also shows off some funky uses of 9p (acme exposes an fs). Everything in it works on 9fans/plan9port.

I've tried acme but sadly there's too much vim and xmonad hard wired in me now (though it's great for playing with anything with a repl).
