As a test I built and ran the u-root srvfiles command on 9front. srvfiles is a dead-simple http server I used at google when I needed an easy way to get files from here to there and did not have a lot of time to fool around with keys and such.
I tried it again today, and it works fine, and made it easy for me to get kernels from my 9front laptop to my mac to run qemu. on 9front I run the command srvfiles -d / -h 192.168.0.20 and I can then grab them from safari or whatever on osx. Core code: https://github.com/u-root/u-root/blob/main/cmds/exp/srvfiles/srvfiles.go ... func maxAgeHandler(h http.Handler) http.Handler { return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) { for _, v := range cacheHeaders { if r.Header.Get(v) != "" { r.Header.Del(v) } } h.ServeHTTP(w, r) }) } func main() { flag.Parse() http.Handle("/", maxAgeHandler(http.FileServer(http.Dir(*dir)))) log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(net.JoinHostPort(*host, *port), nil)) } I like using Go on Plan 9. It's the environment I like with the language I like. I know there's been mention of Rust, but (1) I don't see it being native, now or ever, and (2) I don't like it as much as Go. If you want a "starter pack" for Go on Plan 9, I think u-root is not a bad place to look. If you want to contribute more Plan 9 support to u-root, we would welcome it.
