Plan 9 vs. Mach IPC

"The NextBSD slides praise Mach IPC as facilitating separate service namespaces that isn’t a file system, as if that’s a huge disadvantage. Using Plan 9 and Inferno has taught me that 9P with per-process namespaces is much more elegant and versatile than a table of integer descriptors, which is what a port namespace is."
