> - is there a C++ compiler? Any plans for it?

Cfront is available but you will be shocked if you expect it
to replace gcc - it is very old now, and though it could be
improved if somone was willing to do the work it would require
quite some dedication.

Getting g++ to work would be the best way to get a modern
C++ compiler on plan9 for free.

If you have money the Comeau computing supply both a portable
compiler and a GCC compliant C++ to C translator (both based
on the EDG front-end), however there is no plan9 port, yet.
