=== Initial Setup on 9p.sdf.org ===
To get started with Go, you have to add the variable and binds below to your $home/lib/profile
<code>
		GOROOT=/sys/lib/go
		bind -qa /sys/lib/go/bin /bin
                bind -qa $home/go/bin /bin
</code>

=== Testing Your Setup ===
When you're in a namespace which has Go set up from above you can do a quick test
<code>
[/usr/rudi] 9p% go version
go version go1.18.3 plan9/amd64
</code>

Or you can do a bit more of a complicated test by saying Hello world!
<code>
[/usr/rudi] 9p% cat hello.go
package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	fmt.Println("Hello plan9!")
}

[/usr/rudi] 9p% go run hello.go
Hello plan9!
</code>

=== Next Steps ===
That's really all there is to it for getting started!

=== Go for Plan9 ===
I'm not sure if there are any Plan9 specific differences for Go.
