Ken Thompson should work on Linux

Name: Anonymous 2011-01-15 23:43

For those who dont know the unix OS was started by Ken Thompson who was originally trying to make a video game on an unused computer at AT&T. It then grew into an OS as a file system was added and other components. Ken is now working at Google, and Google uses the Linux OS for Android. So wouldnt it be a good idea to let the father of Linux work on its most successful offspring? Im sure that Google can lend Ken for a month or so to work on Linux for the betterment of computing.

Yep, Plan 9 started over from scratch, beginning with stone tools and building up from there to a complete computer operating system.
