i was just reading this paragraph when your message arrived:

" 'Even though some of us used to work on Mozilla, we have to admit that the
Mozilla code is a gigantic, bloated mess, not to mention slow, and with an
internal API so flamboyantly baroque that frankly we can't even comprehend
where to begin. Also did we mention big and slow and incomprehensible?'".

sounds nice, doesn't it? :) article here:

now that gcc is available for plan9 one may attempt to compile mozilla, but
i haven't seen anyone here crazy enough...
