Interesting that you used Lua. I think it's generally
under-appreciated but IMO is very well designed and philosophically a
good fit for Plan 9. However, inasmuch as you had to build a custom
interpreter to add features for Pegasus this exposes a weakness of
Plan 9 in that it can't dynamically load libraries at run-time which
is the normal extension mechanism for scripting languages on other
platforms.
Can someone comment on how feasible it would be to add general support
for dynamically loading libraries to Plan 9? Is there some structural
reason why it can't be done or is it just that nobody has done the
work yet? Note that I am specifically not asking about "shared"
libraries...
