The appearance of frogs in=C2=A0https://github.com/= Harvey-OS/harvey/blob/master/sys/src/9/port/chan.c makes it clear this = is a port.

I = couldn=E2=80=99t resist looking, and found in=C2=A0http://www.osnews.com/comments/2= 8699

"Harvey i= s an effort to get the Plan 9 code working with gcc and clang=E2=80=9D.
=
So, in a way it seems to be a port of Plan 9.

More details, inc= luding the feature list below, are at=C2=A0http://harvey-os.org

Features<= br>
=E2=80=A2 AMD 64 bit =E2=80=A2 Modern, simplified = syscall system
=E2=80=A2 GC= C toolchain means you can use gdb(!)
=E2=80=A2 Compile in Linux or OSX using Harvey's headers and = libs, no need to change anything else
=E2=80=A2 Fast compilation of the whole system
=E2=80=A2 All Plan9 userland apps available<= br> =E2=80=A2 Plans to add X11 = with rio-like multiplexing, tty driver, new fileserver, native toolchain an= d more

I=E2=80=99m intrigued by the =E2=80=9Ccompile =E2=80=A6 using= Harvey's headers and libs, no need to change anything else=E2=80=9D = =E2=80=94
I guess that means that it will be easy to =E2=80=9Cport=E2=80= =9D stuff to Harvey?

The team list contains names well-known on this= list...

I must say, it looks quite interesting, worth checking out.=

not sure what Harvey is... is it just plan9 ported to build on gcc?

if so does gcc run under Harvey?

does gcc run= under plan9 now?

I'm not affiliated with this whatsoever; I just saw it on Reddit and fo= und it interesting.

I found this part particularly neat:
