Anyway, I guess you're pissed that you have to use Hg and install
Python? Sorry, but Plan 9 can't reinvent the wheel in 2011.
Just consider how MIT dropped Scheme for Python in intro courses. Toy
language construction no longer precedes practical programming;
likewise, who outside 9fans would use a replica replacement? So why
write one? Better to focus on what counts as Sussman did with
Scheme/SICP which is instead offered to advanced students who better
appreciate it (6.945).
Plus, it's never been a committee. (Would Plan 9 seem less dead to you
if others stopped working on it?)
