It's hard to give a useful answer without knowing how much theory and practice someone has. As you already know, reading good code and emulating the structure and style of good programs is a good practice. I find that implementing simple versions of tools/protocols/languages/etc. is very good practice for learning a subject or a language. I find that the language I use will constrain my thinking, and try to use one that fits the problem; but sometimes that decision is made for me because there is a lot of momentum -- investment in tools, code and knowhow (e.g. C for OS, Python for ML, etc.).
As for coding on Plan 9, generally for me, understanding how to architect the namespace to minimize the code required to accomplish a task is the key. There are several good rc examples that do things that on other OS require a lot of specialized code & libraries.
