What purpose does putting work into Plan 9 support serve other than wastefully gratifying Rob Pike? Most Googlers I've spoken to despise this guy's reactionary lordship over the project, and seeing stuff like this lends evidence to the idea of it being a North Korean situation.

Breaking the mouse entirely probably isn't the greatest of frontend design patterns.

Besides the arrow keys, you can move forwards or backwards by clicking on the left or right edges of a slide.

Wat‽ Talk to more of us. From where I sit (ie. not related in any way, just an observer who happens to be a Googler) the go team is fantastic.

You can also click on the vertical area between slides to go forward/back.

Rob Pike has nothing to do with the Plan 9 port of Go. It has been entirely driven by the outside community. I don't think Rob has used Plan 9 in years.

There were some great new tools mentioned on there - like "callgraph" for plotting the callgraph.

I can't however find any instructions how to download and install them. Anyone able to help me?

    go get golang.org/x/tools/cmd/callgraph

Or similar for any of these commands: http://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/cmd
