Is Plan9's ACME similar? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP1xVpMPn8M

If yes, does it reinvent or borrow the concepts?

(I saw ACME in the yesterdays post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25777580)




It is inspired by it as the wikipedia[0] article notes. Both are inspired by Cedar/Mesa[1] from PARC. There is a great video of Eric Bier showing some of cedars capabilities on youtube[2].
