Go and it's relation to Plan 9

--

At  first,  I  was  thinking  the logo looked similar to Plan 9's
"Glenda".

It was pointed out to me on a forum that, "Plan 9's Glenda and
Go's  gopher  were both created by Renee French -- who is married
to Rob Pike."

Though, there's no source attributed to this.

Perhaps it's relation to Plan 9 or the apparent fact that  Google
uses Plan 9 a lot had been lost on me.

  http://go-lang.cat-v.org/

This  site  aims  to collect various information and other re-
sources about the Go programming language designed by Ken  Thomp-
son, Rob Pike and Robert Griesemer at Google.

Interesting! If I find more, I'll post - but I just find it weird
that these connections are not so  clear.  It  makes  sense  that
Google would use Plan 9, perhaps for their "cloud". It makes even
more sense that Google would want a Plan 9..err, cloud, scripting
language. Perhaps Go fits this bill well.
