Hmmm... is this Limbo/Newsqueak/Alef inspired?

(http://golang.org/doc/go_faq.html)

"What compiler technology is used to build the compilers?

Gccgo has a C++ front-end with a recursive descent parser coupled to
the standard GCC back end. Gc is written in C using yacc/bison for the
parser. Although it's a new program, it fits in the Plan 9 C compiler
suite (http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/compiler.html) and uses a
variant of the Plan 9 loader to generate ELF binaries."

So I believe it could be ported...
As for a comparison to limbo, I think someone who knows more about
limbo would be better qualified to delve into the language, but for
one thing it isn't tied to Inferno, and compiles natively, as opposed
to dis.
(it also has some limited type inference)

If you look at the infomercial -- it seems like it might run on Plan9. At least
the name of the compiler suggests it: 6g ;-)

Thanks,

P.S. Russ, are you working for Google now?

Re: [9fans] Is this the same Russ Cox we know here?

Not yet.  There's an 8g, so it should (in principle) be portable.  But
it requires user-mode support for setting LDTs.  But I'm really not
any sort of expert at all, just an interested observer.  Maybe Rob or
Russ will poke in and say something.

[andrey mirtchovski]

i'm sorry but i was being facetious, in line with the old meme of
"will it run linux" popular some 10 years ago.

serious question: can i have a link to the 9p implementation, pretty
please? it doesn't appear in the module list on their website.

would the authors care to contrast go with limbo?
