I really appreciate the nice sockets API we got from the BSDsWhat? It's half-baked and non-Unixy, as ugly in its way as SysVIPC and for many of the same reasons, right down to implementing new read and write primitives for non-stream transports (though at least the stream transports use read() and write() like everyone else, the sole good decision in the whole sorry mess). Something properly filesystem-backed would be much more the Unix Way(TM). As in so many other areas, Plan 9 got this right. IMNSHO, of course.
