i find development to go very fast on plan 9. now that /dev/reboot $kern is working for me, i can restart the kernel in less time than it takes the monitor to reset. (0.5s) of course kenc is faster than gcc. the added benefits are that i can debug device drivers and use regular kenc style or gcc's different % rounding and the little differences between 9vx and the regular kernel. i've found it very comfortable for building some rather large systems. - erik
