This is a plan9 descendant.

The actual end of line for Plan 9, was Inferno using Limbo as the userspace language, but many seem to keep forgetting about it.

Harvey would be cool if they would continue Inferno, but with Go instead of Limbo.

As it is, it isn't that much interesting from OS architecture point of view.

It seems like they're taking the same approach as QNX, except across boxes instead of within the same box.

Did you find an architecture description anywhere in there? I've been looking for one.

It's a Plan 9 fork, the Plan 9 papers and man pages would describe the system architecture pretty well.

Most of the changes I know of that they've done (UFS support, ELF executables, standard C without the Plan 9 extensions, a different build system, etc..) are more in the details than the architecture.

From what I read, it's a Plan9 fork refreshed for modern build chains plus golang support. From floren's comments, it sounds like the architecture is still Plan9.
