Can Go be used for replacing C in Plan9? Could be a kernel be written
in Go? If it is not possible, what about making a C-like Go? Where
C-like Go means having similar syntax, but not channels, garbage
collection, and other fancy 21st century runtime features; but with no
need for makefiles and fast compilation times. Could this be a sort of
plugable compiler, where we could select what features of the language
we would use for being included in the runtime?
I think it will be nice for Plan9 having such language-compiler, Go
has proved to be an improvement over C in its own niche.
