there's a thread lib for plan 9?
i believe that threads were outlawed, because thread programming was
considered to be too hard. which isn't a bad thing 'cos writing
correct programs is hard enough and the closest you used to get to
threads was kernel hacking and that code/compile/run cycle is damn
painful.
at least threads are in user mode so your m/c doesn't crash and
your f/s doesn't get trashed.
