Go works pretty well and is on its way to be a supported platform. I use it quite frequently on 9front.

For git, there's a wrapper script for github and others. But yes, a fuller featured git would be good. There are some projects trying to do that in Go. Maybe that'll work someday.

Mercurial is already there on 9front via python.

Any plans for Plan 9 5th edition?

My desires:
ISO-compliant C compiler and preprocessor
Port other programming languages (especially Go) to here
Start a source code repository
Port Git, SVN, Mercurial, et cetera to here
