> I just think this sounds very elegant

Where the elegance starts to fade for me is when you see all the ad hoc syntaxes for specifying what ta connect to and what to mount. I have no love for tcp!10.0.0.1!80 or #c or #I. I want to move away from parsing strings in trusted code, especially when that code is C.

I also have no love for "read a magic file to have a new connection added to your process".

9P is neat but utterly unprepared for modern day use where caching is crucial for performance.
