This is cool. I've written two or three implementations of 9p in the past, the more the merrier :) In the other direction, I ported Ocaml's interpreter to Plan 9. Wish there were more people using it back in the day, but that's what you get from a dying operating system...

9P is cool though. Simple, elegant, working.

I ported Ocaml's interpreter to Plan 9.

That sounds pretty cool, care sharing any more information about this project?

Seconding this, I'd love to see it.

Why is it that almost always 9P is implemented instead of the improved 9P2000?

Bottom of the README says:

This library supports the 9P2000.u extension

That's right -- it'll negotiate 9P2000.u if it can and otherwise drop back to 9P2000. I don't think it'll ever support 9P2000.l the very Linux-specific variant.

I'd be interested to know how it compares to more recent protocols.
