I have a version for legacy Plan 9, lightly tested, that I have not
looked at in ages.

Happy to haul it out, but I see little value in it. Go may have
idiosyncrasies, but it is much more suited to modern architectures.
That said, had Go not surfaced, I would have much preferred Alef to
many other options.

Don't forget the rationale for dropping Alef: support for the
language, across many architectures and including many libraries would
have been crippling.

Both of those are now Go's strong suits.

Lucio.

PS: A tar archive may be on sources under "proxima" - it's been a long time.
