One interesting thing about this is it really falls into the current programmer fantasy of "give me infinite terminals" even though in VR there is a full 3D workspace available, might be fun to imagine embodied interfaces that are efficient as opposed to "skuemorphic" or designed for play or ease of use. I talked to <@UC2A2ARPT> about this a little bit in an upcoming podcast.

It's a bit dated now, and it's still very firmly in the "infinite terminals" category. But the plan9 inspired, "GUIs are just another stream you can pipe" idea, seems like a concept very amendable to VR.
