Hi, I've have some curiosity about a few things for a while.  The thread about the web and Plan 9 got me rethinking…  It's often touted that Plan 9 is a research OS, and I believe that, and I understand some of the implications of that (could swear I went to a NYC USENIX(?) meeting at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge (Pratt?) to hear Ken and somebody else describe it around what must have been circa 1987?).  But I also believe there was also commercial undertones to Plan 9 at some points.  Plus, as well, I'm certain that Plan 9 is obviously not just being used by hobbyists and schools and would probably be surprised to here some of the places and some of the things it is being used at/on/with.

So, is there  is a good sampling provided somewhere of Plan 9 in the real world (commercial or otherwise), notable projects using Plan 9, etc?  Although I do see the Bell Labs site mentioning some applications ported to Plan 9 and a short list of organizations using it, I haven't run across much else.

For instance, one thing I always like about what Stroustrup did re C++ was to provide a good representational sampling of C++ via say:

and of compilers via say:

As he writes it is incomplete, but nonetheless still helpful documents IMO.  Does something exist to that level in regards to Plan 9?
