Are you suggesting that any efforts to keep Go and Plan 9 in sync should be measured purely against short term gain? To me, that makes Plan 9 a superfluous platform for Go: the cost of maintaining the port(s) would never be recoverable in deployment of Go applications to any Plan 9 platform. On the other hand, if Go and Plan 9 continue to influence each other's development and philosophy, I think both will benefit, as well as their respective communities. The discussion here, superficial as it is, is a case in point. ++L
