Folks, i am very unhappy seeing this kind of discussions here (and, the wasted potential to do something more useful in my eyes, sorry, but IMHO)... it resembles me very much the times when Steve Jobbs compromised the ideas of the NeXTstep, first downgrading it to the OpenStep for Windoze users, then downgrading to MacOS X...... look, what happened to linux, bsd, etc: it's all approaching the silly model of windoze, you'll kill me but its IMHO... i don't want zillion of comp. languages to learn when they are capable of mostly the same ... please, please, Bell Labs people, please, do not compromise the ideas... believe me, it was not very much easy to me to throw away all the boilerplate apps served on linux and do the C port of many (>70) of them to switch to native plan9, but i feel it was one of the best decisions in my (professional) life, and remember, i am not a programmer, i am a paleobiologist, hence , user... Just my sad feelings... native plan9 deserves more focus than it gets, imho... i would hate to see plan9 as a plugin for Mozilla 20.0
Sincerely, Peter, aka ++pac a proud user of plan9 since 2001...
