the problem is, nobody wants reasonably easy.

c++ would be very nice too, so there would be one step
less on the road towards firefox. i'm sure ron is more
interested in fortran90.
People are working on it. In fact, someone said something about an

Who uses Fortran 90? I haven't seen any F90 compiler in wide use; the
FSF is still working with F77.
Who said anything about Firefox? The guy that made abaco also ported
the SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine to Plan 9, perhaps we could build
off of that? And how easy would it be to add a basic CSS?
