I wonder how much effort it would take to port commonly-used server software to #Plan9. You would get isolation by design. And it would be a one-time effort instead of ever-increasing re-implementations like Docker, Sandstorm, etc. that cobble together hobbled pieces like cgroups, containers, KVM, etc.

@lucifargundam I doubt "rewrites" would be required. Not only is Plan9 an evolution of Unix, Go has probably been ported by now. A very small part of most software deals with I/O and parallelism, which part is what would need rewriting. Maybe an RDBMS or a NoSQL server isn't ported yet.
Plan9 architecture is an advantage worth the differences. The porting effort involved would likely be a fraction of that involved in Docker et al and in developing for them.

Most software would likely require major rewrites. Plan9 architecture is fundamentally different than conventional system deployments and requires vastly different resource management practices.
