And yet everyone elsewhere wants easy. Did I step into another

People are working on it. In fact, someone said something about an
update to the second edition C++ preprocessor a few days/weeks ago.
Who uses Fortran 90? I haven't seen any F90 compiler in wide use; the
FSF is still working with F77.
Who said anything about Firefox? The guy that made abaco also ported
the SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine to Plan 9, perhaps we could build
off of that? And how easy would it be to add a basic CSS?
