Hi,
if we
couldn't port GCC because it very big job (any other reason?), maybe
we could port some other compiler with liberal enough licence?
If you (not *we*) want to port something port it and let us know when
it's done.
The process goes like this :
"I've done some working code for my XXXX C++ port, it's in my
contrib directory if someone wants to have a go with it"
I'm asking because C++ is very popular language,
This is Plan 9, popularity isn't very high on the list.
The reason there is no native C++ compiler is because of it's *lack* of
popularity in the Plan 9 community, both historically and currently.
The pattern of "I've just downloaded Plan9 and I want my old tools" is
very common and we just kind of ignore them :) except for the anti-GNU
troll responses.
You'll (eventually) notice that *most* of the long time Plan 9 users
don't even join in the discussion, no doubt smiling a "seen it all
before" smile before pressing Del
