I'm running BCPL on Plan 9.  It works well.

I should have said more.  If anyone wants pascal badly enough
and if there's a public pascal compiler that they like with
its pcode available, it should be pretty easy to translate
one of the pcode interpreters to Plan 9 (Kathy Jensen's was
only a few hundred lines of Pascal) and bootstrap
yourself to joyful oblivion.

I really don't like the language much, the same IO peeve,
but it's probably the easiest one to bootstrap because
of the pcode.
