Re: [9fans] Porting 9front.net/go/draw to Plan 9
Thanks! I still think a real port would be better, and probably not too hard. But your post made me think … maybe it would be nice to separate the front end from the back end, so devdraw would be one possibility, the native file system another and possibly an imported 9fans.net/go/plan9/client a third one. But for now, I think I will just hard-wire the native file system for Plan 9 and devdraw for all other OSs.

Re: [9fans] Porting 9front.net/go/draw to Plan 9
for goplan9 i think the differences can be hidden in Go files with proper build directives (i.e. +build plan9 or +build !plan9). i think once you go past the naming convention and how a 9p connection is posted or opened, things should be the same for plan9 and posix-ish environments.
