I first tried Acme back in 2018/19, and I didn't get too far with it. I recently found myself in a deep Plan9 rabbit hole and am trying it again. I found this to be a good post on the editor.

Great post on the history and benefits of SmartOS, a distribution of Illumos. Also includes a comparison with OpenIndiana, another distribution of Illumos.

Not OP nor am I a Rust expert. I can speak regarding another technology: sockets.

I've been deep-diving into sockets recently. 2 weeks ago I had only a high-level understanding of sockets (learned from casually reading manpages, docs, blog posts, etc.). I decided to read as much as possible because I wanted to understand networking fundamentals, and after a week I learned enough to write some sockets code in Python and C. I know Python quite well, so reviewing the ``sockets'' library made more sense after my deep dive.

If you want to get better at technology A using language X, I suggest either reading/watching as much as you can about tech A, and build stuff with it in language Y. Then you can circle back to learning language X and you've already mastered much of the concepts around technology A.
