I couldn’t resist looking, and found in http://www.osnews.com/comments/28699

"Harvey is an effort to get the Plan 9 code working with gcc and clang”.
So, in a way it seems to be a port of Plan 9.
More details, including the feature list below, are at http://harvey-os.org
<http://harvey-os.org/>
Features
• AMD 64 bit
• Modern, simplified syscall system
• GCC toolchain means you can use gdb(!)
• Compile in Linux or OSX using Harvey's headers and libs, no need to
change anything else
• Fast compilation of the whole system
• All Plan9 userland apps available
• Plans to add X11 with rio-like multiplexing, tty driver, new
fileserver, native toolchain and more
I’m intrigued by the “compile … using Harvey's headers and libs, no need to
change anything else” —
I guess that means that it will be easy to “port” stuff to Harvey?
The team list contains names well-known on this list...
I must say, it looks quite interesting, worth checking out.
