Some time ago I ported gofer (a predecessor to haskell) to Plan 9 (APE) for my use. I liked it because it was simpler than haskell. We used it for a while in some autoconfiguration things in Plan B and I used it for math stuff I was doing. If you are interested in getting it drop me a line. -- - curiosity sKilled the cat
