are you running plan9 on bare metal or just VM?
Personally I have both.
I wanna hear from the guys who run it only in the VM, why? You have no box to install it on? Or something else?

after more than a decade in the apple ecosystem I migrated to Safari
reason: battery and memory drain of the browsers in the middle of the curve.

We ported Rust to plan9, it's called rust9
https://github.com/Alino/agent9/tree/main/rust9
Also I have created a new package manager called pac9.
Install pac9 with:
option 1:
hget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Alino/agent9/main/pac9/pac9 >/rc/bin/pac9chmod +x /rc/bin/pac9mkdir -p /sys/lib/pac9hget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Alino/agent9/main/pac9/registry >/sys/lib/pac9/registry
option 2:
git/clone https://github.com/Alino/agent9 /tmp/agent9cd /tmp/agent9/pac9 && rc install.rc
Either way, pac9 is now on your path.
now you can install rust
pac9 install rust9

We ported C++ to plan9, it's called cc9
https://github.com/Alino/agent9/tree/main/cc9
tested with compiling stockfish (chess engine) directly on plan9.
Mapping to plan9 primitives where possible instead of using POSIX, more info in repo docs.

We ported nodejs to plan9, it's called node9
It does not use V8 engine but QuickJS instead.
V8 would be much more effort to do, maybe in the future, we could do that :)
npm also works, we tested with 30 popular packages (downloading them via npm and running them) with success.
https://github.com/Alino/agent9/tree/main/node9
our next plan is to create a plan9 package manager so that these ports, etc. are easily installable.
I am also interested in porting C++ and Rust. But these might be hard ones.
Even this nodejs port is not perfect, but at least we have something.

I ported CPython 3.11.14 to 9front — the port is called python9
It boots, runs the REPL + stdlib, and scores 100% parity (6120/6120, 0 regressions) vs host CPython 3.11.14 on the 39-module numeric/core batch — measured with CPython's own Lib/test run identically on host and in the VM.
It ships in my agent9 distro (a bootable 9front image), so you can python immediately — or build it on stock 9front from the patches/shims in the repo:

agent9 — a 9front distribution with a Windows XP tiny desktop UI and a Plan 9-native LLM coding agent
Hi, someone might be interested in this. I have created a winXP tiny UI on the 9front distro and created custom terminal called vtwin in which I can run pi9 - an LLM agent I "ported" from pi agent.
