Yeah, JIT can be toggled at runtime, even. `echo -n 1 >/dev/jit`.

There is no competition for the shell. Best shell of all time.
I still don't think anyone's ported the registry, because Plan 9 was designed around a more or less static network and Inferno's design had nodes popping up and going down. They're designed to fit in different spaces, though: Inferno was designed to compete with Java and to be a reasonable environment for conventional application programming, so there's Tk support, things like that. Plan 9 was designed for research.
