It's the assembly of text editors.

>>54381452
Because I'm not using a teletype machine.

I have. I even used it to type this in firefox.

Because I prefer to help Ugandan children.

>>54381452
OP- do you know who designed ed?
do you know what the designer of ed uses now?

>>54381452
ed is the standard text editor.

I know how to use assembly too, but code mostly in higher level languages unless necessary or for shits and giggles

>>54381452
Why bother when there's far superior sed?

>>54381557
sam or acme, which I'm also interested in.
But Plan 9 won't install on my computer since it doesn't recognise my SSD

>>54381624
well, one works on buffers and the other works on streams...thus the names.

>>54381638
Install plan9port you shitcorn fuck

>>54381638
plan 9 is ported to the raspi

ed is the standard editor

because posix is a meme

>>54381691
Why use just a partial ported set of applications when there's a kernel too?

>>54381769
posix is UNIX (C)

>>54381772
what good is a kernel if it has no drivers? I don't think plan 9 even installs anymore on modern hardware, everyone installs it on VMs.

>>54381772
Because the web/http killed plan9.

>>54381452
>really short man page.
"info Ed for complete manual"

>>54381928
>implying GNU/Linux
GNU ed is not the one available on OpenBSD, sonny.

>>54381869
Not really. People being unwilling to learn new things killed Plan 9. Plan 9 could have easily supported web browsers and http servers if people actually used Plan 9.

>>54381975
You completely missed the point. There is no need for a distributed OS when the distributed OS IS the web browser/http.

>>54382024
Your analogy isn't very good.
