I don't know mcuh about LISP. But what I know about OSes means I know the advantage of Everything is a File.

On Plan9 if you can open / read / write / close / remove you can do almost anything : networking, graphics, serial, debugging, mouse control, the list extends by design.

We have a few Schemes ported for those who had a personal itch. ALISP claimes a port but their site is down for me.

I have a few Schemes installed on my Plan 9 system, but I haven't really done anything with them. I'd really like to see an example of integrating a Scheme with devdraw; I've seen everything else in your list done by file operations but only used regular library calls for graphics.

Forth is in the same boat, no-one is going to make C based Plan9 libs for it. The one I use 4th only has file ops anyway so I plan9 to do something with it but it is the perennial todo list problem :)
