Uh, sorry?

A month or so ago, I sat in a room with a bunch of
like- and unlike-minded people and discussed
everything from linguistics to supercomputing on plan9 and/or inferno.

Lots of people are busy doing various things, damned or otherwise,  
with plan9.

If by "a damn thing" you really mean "a damned thing that some  
particular set of people want",
or  "a damn thing that you want", well, that's a different matter.

Perception is everything.

Another point of view:
as has been said before:
plan9 has been failing for 20 years.
That's longer than most.
