I wish we had found a consistent way to manage the client/server (or as we
called it, terminal/host) separation. Every program did it a different way,
with varying levels of success. We didn't push hard enough on it at the
time, but Plan 9 came about in part by thinking about the problem, and to
be honest so did JavaScript.

I think that is a good way to express it. The client/server paradigm is
really well considered - what belongs on each side. of the link such that
the data that actually had to be sent between them is minimum. It becomes
a solid demonstration of what you need to get a job done.
