Plan 9 => Inferno, which is still Plan

Alef => Limbo => Go.

Being able to backport Go into Plan 9, doesn't make sense in this context, that isn't how historical evolution works.

Also even Inferno has the necessary C infrastructure to port Go, if someone hasn't done it already.

I suspect you would have to port Go to run on Dis, the VM. C is for the OS. It’s a different design, without mmu. Plan 9 is still a classic OS with hardware isolation
