Hi,

Upon a whim I have installed the latest release of 9front (PLAN9-HATERS).

I have a few noob questions:

1. I have "ported" EuScheme (a EuLisp Level 0 interpreter) and xlispstat ( a Sunset of Common Lisp with Extensions for statistical computing. Both based more or less on David M. Betz' XLISP. I have put ported in quotes because I have compiled using APE (ape/psh ape/make and ape/pcc). The compilation result runs under 9front w/o APE. It works so far for me. What should I do?
a. Use the stuff for my own purposes and keep quiet.
b. Work on a "proper" port using 8c/6c and mk. Make the plot routines work using graph(1).
c. Shut up, Install Linux or Windows and leave 9front and its users alone.

2. I would like to have a array programming language at my disposal. Currently the most promising candidate is Rob Pike's Ivy. As it is written in Go, the way forward is:
2.1 Install a binary package of Go 1.4.3 or 1.14 (done).
2.2 Bootstrap a version of Go that is aber to compile Ivy from it using the pacjages from step 2.1.

Has anyone else attempted this? I would be grateful for any hints or recomendations.

Many thanks for your help.

All the best,

-- Alexander
