Sheesh,
    Is it just me or does did this thread lose focus
a long time ago. Look, just because Plan9 doesn't
come with Pascal doesn't mean Pascal is a bad lang
and has no use for implementation. Pascal, like any
other programming language, is an tool that makes
operating system use more satisfying for the user
of that language. If _you_ want Pascal on Plan9
then why don't _you_ take the time to port it to
Plan9? Not to sound rude, but, this is simply a
reality. People wanted Pascal on Linux yet no core
Linux team thought it necessary until Kylix came
about. *Shrug*. If the core OS team doesn't use
a proglang its most likely not to be implemented
in the core distribution. Pascal just happens to
fit that category :)
