I have a version for legacy Plan 9, lightly tested, that I have not looked at in ages. Happy to haul it out, but I see little value in it. Go may have idiosyncrasies, but it is much more suited to modern architectures. That said, had Go not surfaced, I would have much preferred Alef to many other options. Don't forget the rationale for dropping Alef: support for the language, across many architectures and including many libraries would have been crippling. Both of those are now Go's strong suits.
