Russ Coxがplan9portを作った理由

Uses Thisのインタビューによると、ブラウザ対応が困難だったから。

I ran Plan 9 from Bell Labs as my day to day work environment until around 2002. By then two facts were painfully clear. First, the Internet was here to stay; and second, Plan 9 had no hope of keeping up with web browsers. Porting Mozilla to Plan 9 was far too much work, so instead I ported almost all the Plan 9 user level software to FreeBSD, Linux, and OS X. The result is called Plan 9 from User Space and is probably much more widely used today than Plan 9 ever was.
