When I wanted to be able to do 9p rc scripting, the tasks at hand were
simple.  For those times when it's not so simple I'd prefer to do that
in a language like limbo instead, and resort to C just when I need a
sharpen tool.

In fact, this summer I did a limbo to C translator, trying to get a
limbo version working natively in Plan 9.  My idea was to write also a
companion that could allow the translated limbo code to work with the
native libraries, so that the Alef history would not repeat (thrown
away because things had to be maintained twice, AFAIK).

Sadly, I was not happy at all with how it worked and I just did throw
it away.  Maybe next summer ;-)
