Not sure about that. We have v9fs in Linux. (And the npfs libs for 
servers.) Plus client written in Python and JAVA.

I started the question about Lua on Plan9 because I like the idea of 
wrting a few little apps on the system. My interest in 9p servers / 
clients centres around Linux.
FUSE is fine. I can allways use npfs to export a FUSE based server to 
the network  via 9p..:-)
