Design Concepts
Many of its features embody key Plan 9 design concepts:
- Each window runs in its own private namespace.
- It exports a file system interface to running applications. This interface is the same rio receives from the operating system, so rio can run inside a rio window without any special arrangements. Because the interface uses 9P, rio is network transparent even if it doesn't include any network-aware code.
- Windows are treated as completely editable text.
