Recently I've been doing alot of reading about Plan9 and Inferno. I'm
particularly interested in developing for Plan9.

I know C and C++, but my preferred tool for building reliable software is
Ada95. Are there any Ada95 compilers available for the Plan9 platform?
If not, would a port of the GNAT compiler to Plan9 interest anyone?

(Note: The Ada95 Distributed Systems Annex sounds alot like a language
implementation of Plan9. Anybody agree?)

I'm interested! Though I'm still struggling to actually get my plan9 to
boot... :-(

GNAT would probably come fairly cheaply once we had a port of GCC 3.0.
David Gordon Hogan is apparently working on porting GCC.
