I recommend windows 98 for normal slacking off, but if you want to do real work rc scripting on 9front is quite nice. C might be easier in some cases, but sadly it never got necessary for me to use it regularly, so I never got proficient enough to use it much. I plan to though. Obviously webkit

is there anyone using plan9 as their only system for development activities? Not sure if this counts. I use plan9 at work though most of the code I write is for windows (server apps), Linux and embedded, so Plan9 becomes a glofified IDE for me. Having siad this it is an excellent IDE that is

drawterm exports its local content to Plan 9 via the /mnt/term namespace; you don't have to have p9p. also, Go code is nearly always platform independent (with no cgo or syscall package). On Tue, Nov 18, 2014 at 9:19 AM, Lee Fallat ircsurfe...@gmail.com wrote: I think it's important to point

is there anyone using plan9 as their only system for development activities? while i do have a 'gui' based networked system (a google chromebook), it would be nice to immerse myself into the plan9 culture by using the 'os' for everything i need for software tinkering and development. thanks.

The only development you could possibly do is anything with C...and a few scripting languages ported through APE. Otherwise, your best bet is to VNC to another computer running a more mainstream OS- but then you might as well just be running said OS. On Tue, Nov 18, 2014 at 8:54 AM, Mayuresh

I think it's important to point out you can use the latest version of Go on Plan 9 (last time I heard), which makes it a very nice environment for Go developers. AFAIK though people just use plan9port to get Plan 9-like functionality (Acme usage, primarily). Personally I see no benefits using
