Some of these programs are just really thin wrappers around system calls.
I don't see how they would benefit from being rewritten in go.
Goblin was a fun way to learn go, not a project to be useful.
However i would be happy to see some new programs written in go.
For example we lack a picture
Hello again,
Wow i wrote this post a little while before falling asleep and
certainly didn't expect such a torrent of replies O.o
@ Aram Hăvărneanu :
Thanks for the interest! some of the tools you mentioned are already
implemented in Goblin, but i could always take a second look at them

The bad stuff for Plan9 would be the external dependencies of libtecla
and ncurses (still have not been able to get ncurses to work :( ), so
there would have to be lots of modifications probably.

Although it was easy to fix, I wonder where this inconsistency
in the source tree came from. Did I miss an update or something?
I think you did. /sys/src/9/bcm/random.c
I think you did. /sys/src/9/bcm/random.c should have been deleted.
Should this have happened when I invoked 'pull'? Or is there a
separate update mechanism?
Yes, it should have been deleted by the first 'pull' after 1 April:

Go versions of base Plan 9 tools would be very useful to me for a
number of reasons. Unfortunately, none of them have to do anything
with Plan 9 (but then almost nothing posted on 9fans does) and
probably my reasons don't apply to

Sometimes I need to deploy something written in rc(1) over a
heterogenous Linux cluster, and a statically compiled rc(1) would be a
blessing.
Subject Sheevaplug and NVRAM
Every time I start the Sheevaplug, I have to enter the authentication

but my attempts to assign a single block of flash to NVRAM have so far
been unsuccessful.
Could somebody mail me an example of a

In you case, you may simply include the nvram in your kernel by
adding the nvram file to the bootdir section of your kernel
configuration and
If anyone is interested I have (re)ported rc(1) to linux
together with the few tools that are unique to plan9: p(1)
mc(1) and ls(1).
ls may seem a strange choice but I access Linux over ssh
from plan9 and want to be able to do things like ls ../port and
get the files listed with the ../port/ path

i don't see the practical issue. the idiom described works fine.
not liking the syntax is not a good reason to introduce incompatable

That's like pascal style (where you define all variables before the
code) versus c style (where you define variables with code).
Not critical, but there is a practical issue.
