So would developers on this platform be encouraged to use languages and

The latter. Build on Linux, run on Plan 9. For most users. Some users
have the time and willingness to try something new like Plan 9, most
have day jobs and just want to run their code. So we make it as easy
for them as we can.
Since I still do most of my work on Linux, I can't really argue with
that... ;)
I noticed that a
limited version of MPI was mentioned in one of the papers on IBM's website,
but what about other systems, such as Co-Array fortran or UPC?
Cross-compile.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but don't these require extensive run-time
support, in addition to compiler support? Will the run-time libraries
also be linux libraries running under a compatibility layer?
