Surprised this got posted, as it is pretty old :D I guess there is a minor Plan9/Acme/Sam renaissance going on these days (many posts related to them.) If you have any questions about Acme, plumber usage or the details in the post please ask here (or drop me an email.)
I've been using plan9 for 15 years, there is a constant renaissance. The Plan9 papers and community Web pages are reposted on a HN regularly if not frequently as each new crop of programmers "discovers" the richness.
