   Plan 9s pretty interesting, there's not 300 gorillion different directories binaries are dumped into, it's all just in /bin (or /usr/YOURNAME/bin, if you don't have admin access to filesystem I think)
   
   Namespaces are also pretty cool..

     @nyanide yeh, the unix directories for binaries come mostly from legacy cruft, it is a good thing that debian finally implemented the usrmerge, even tho it was in a less than ideal manner...

     but for UN*X the only real functional differentiation of /bin directories is /bin, /sbin, /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/sbin and the ones from "/usr/local" are there just to differentiate random shit that the admin installs from source and aren't packages

     User's bin is your own personal bin, /bin is actually /$objtype/bin as well

     @sysrq the organization inside of it is also pretty neat, you get names that make a lot more sense when they're in a directory categorizing the program : )
