I browsed through the comp.os.plan9 archives and found a very old (ca. 1996) post from Russ Cox regarding attempts to bring Lithp to P9. Not much else. The language that I had in mind is Haskell. I can't figure out a way Haskell could fit nicely with the Plan9 paradigms (everything is a file, private namespaces, etc), but, say, a haskell->draw() module could be of some use... somewhat... I'm looking at this simply as a way of bringing some color to the C/rc (perl?python?) world we live in :) andrey
