The amazing thing is that you think performance is hugely important,
so much so, that you claim run time of compilation is the most
important thing.  Then when another system does something faster, you
call it "stupid".  Puhleez.  If your real opinion is just "Whatever
Plan 9 does is brilliant, and anything different is stupid", then say
it, instead of pretending to have reasoned opinions.

For my part, Plan 9 does some things very well, and other things less
well.  I enjoy learning from the successes of Plan 9, but it's a real
shame that many people here have a kind of allergic reaction to
learning from the successes of anything else.

Thomas
