I think it's important to point out you can use the latest version of Go on Plan 9 (last time I heard), which makes it a very nice environment for Go developers.
AFAIK though people just use plan9port to get Plan 9-like functionality (Acme usage, primarily). Personally I see no benefits using Plan 9 for development work unless you are developing for Plan 9. Yes, namespaces, 9p, and being more unix than unix is great (awesome really), but you cannot run the majority of software to meet other demands. Just curious, what do you plan on developing, Mayuresh, if you could tell us?
