Consider this, the authors have fixed some of the Plan 9 design errors including the demise of Alef, by creating Inferno and Limbo (yeah it was a response to Java OS, but still).
Where C is only used for the Inferno kernel, Limbo VM (with a JIT) and little else like Tk bindings, everything else in Inferno is written in Limbo.
Replace Limbo with AOT compiled Go, and that is what systems programming is in the minds of UNIX, Plan 9 and Inferno authors.
