Re: [9fans] Go

arabic numeral 9 is very close: ۹ Puny pedantry: that's a(n) Hindi/Indic numeral. 9 is already an "Arabic numeral." If playing on numerals is allowed why shouldn't they call it IXgo or even Kyuugo? --On Tuesday, November 10, 2009 22:47 -0800 Skip Tavakkolian <9...@9netics.com> wrote:

Re: [9fans] Google Go (off topic, but maybe it could be ported to Plan 9)

I'd love to have this anywhere, including plan 9! I was just reading over the ideas this morning, and quite frankly, I'm excited! I've been writing concurrent code in a multi-paradigm system including approaches from Haskell, Erlang, and C at my day job, so I've got my head down in a lot of this

Re: [9fans] Go

the thing i think i'd miss most moving from limbo is discriminated unions. what would a go-friendly way of describing, say, a 9p message look like? i suppose you could just type-switch, but then you still lose the nice statically declared aspect of an algebraic type.

[9fans] Booting plan9 kernel on olpc

I've played with booting the plan9 kernel on OLPC a little and simplified the boot process and the kernel changes needed. Here are the patches and instructions: http://www.thenewsh.com/~newsham/x/9/olpc/ And a question -- is it possible to use a usb key as a root filesystem? What's involved?

[9fans] usbd and boot

How does usbd interact with the boot process? I noticed that #u gets mounted on /dev and usbd gets run by the boot process. I don't see /srv/usb getting mounted on /dev (thats where the devices appear, right?). If I plug in a usb keyboard during boot, would I get to use it? If so, how does it
