Re: go under plan9 on the radpberry pi?

hi,

my plan was to build and run/debug go on a raspberry pi 4 running plan9, not to cross compile.

i am confident in the linux cross compile environment i was just concerned about the plan9 os/runtime support for the pi.

i guess it comes down to plan9 os interface for the arm.

people said it is painful, you mean the pi is slow?

thanks for the help.
