.B NOTE:
Go is currently broken on 9front/386. Even 1.4.x versions which used to compile no longer build on 9front/386. 9front/amd64 seems to "work," 1.6.x inclusive. Usual caveats (pending issues) apply.

Python 2.5.1 is included with the 9front distribution, not because anyone loves Python, but because it was required by Mercurial (also loved by no one), which was required by Google Code (shutting down in 2015). An abject lesson in expediency.

Jeff Sickel ported Python 2.7 to Plan 9.
