Plan9-9k: 64-bit Plan 9

I agree 100%. I do wonder if the Dis VM is a close enough match for Go as a target. Or perhaps we could start with a simple Go to Limbo translation transpiler. Want to see if it's possible?

obviously you would call this DisGo and the resulting system would be DisGo Inferno

Better just call it Dante or Dante's.

It's clever, but "Dante's Inferno" is one of the few names more difficult to google than "go"

You would google for golang

But this would need a Go with generics and polymorphism then. PolyGo or such. For simple server stuff Go is enough but for a dynamic VM with dynamic objects not.

Can you elaborate on your thoughts here? If you just wanted to target the Dis VM using Go as the starting point, I believe you could call most everything in the standard libraries.
