   |you should join the 9front ml: https://lists.9front.org/

  And 9fans at 9fans.net (the ~"what were they thinking?" group,
  posted after the last systemcall was added to the "labs version"
  ... sysnsec?), at times posts appear.
  And plan9port-dev at googlegroups.com for the plan9-on-XY layer.

  The "Introduction to Operating Systems Abstractions. Using Plan9
  from Bell Labs" of Francisco J Ballesteros is a great book.  (The
  V4 commentary of Rodriguez "just appeared", also is, i find.)
  I kept a farewell program that umbraticus_at_prosimetrum_dot_com
  posted once Mycroftiv, a well known person in the Plan9 community,
  died, and that source code alone is so "extraterristrian" in the
  Linux / BSD* environment i live in!  My terminal (font) cannot
  even display it in full.
  UNIX boy and girl become real Eunuchs when facing Plan9.  So they
  sing higher.

  What i also like is their coding style, "continued" on 9front.
  That is the style Kernighan used in v6's RAT[FOR], and Johnson
  used in v6's yacc, in 1975.  Fun fact: it seems the gigabyte big
  clang compiler framework, which also includes a code formatter, is
  incapable to be configurable to reiterate this coding style!  Eg

    for(i=0; i<idx; i++){
      ..
    }

  No spaces in between ) and {!

In the meantime i seem to remember i have yet posted the C source
of this in the past; it is, despite the thing as such, mostly
about use of graphical symbols, like in
  #define 𝅘𝅥𝅯 ,3,0,
