A number of us have been working on a native Go port for plan 9.

The big goal is to do this in a way that makes tracking Go source a
non-problem, and to eventually just have these changes part of the
standard Go tree, so there is no work at all.

we're pretty close, thanks to previous work others have done on the Go port.

You can try it.

Right now, due to a few bison and bash dependencies, there are files
we can not generate. These are supplied as part of the repo.

cd
hg clone https://code.google.com/p/rminnich-9go go
bind -ac . /
cd /go
cd 9/prebuilt
rc install
cd /go/src
mk install

You've now got all commands and the toolchain. Now you can help us fix this:

goinstall bitbucket.org/rminnich/forth (or any package)

fails with an odd error. use ratrace -c on that command to see what
sequence produces this error.

Be sure to use the google code tools to mark bugs and submit fixes.

I am going to be doing an update from the main go tree into this repo
soon. This will likely break things. This working branch will be
tagged 'audrey'.

thanks
