At this point in market concentration, any sufficiently brave or delusional soul that ventures into even the most rudimentary web browser development is a hero to me !

I fully acknowledge that Plan9 had a cool vision, maybe a superior one to the world we’ve got. But is it practical as an operating system for day to day use, particularly when working with other people using conventional Linux/Mac/Windows?

Nice! I'm glad to see more people are interested in creating browser from scratch. Tho like the "OS from scratch" trend, most of those browsers won't be as nearly as performant or complete as those market-leading browsers without ton of work put into it. Making a browser is not a one man job.
But it's certainly fun to make a browser! I happen to keep track of the open-source browser projects & resources here if anyone is interested:

Oh nice, and it’s an actual browser engine not just another chromium wrapper \o/
Good luck to them - we need more actual engines rather than the modern “new browser” model where it’s just whatever Google want in chrome.

http client, UI interactions logic, domain models, utilities like tree operations, browser domain logic
and all of that inside single go file?
I think you'd make your life 10 times easier by splitting it better

Curious to see how they will get WebGL and WebGPU over file handles.

Serious question: What is Plan 9? Can someone explain or send me some docs to read? Thank you!

Serious question: is anyone here using Plan 9 for daily operation?

Has anyone built this? I'd love some screenshots of my website.
