Very briefly, Inferno and Plan 9 kernels are similar, having common
ancestry. Application programs on Inferno must be written in Limbo;
it's the only language supported. Application programs on Plan 9 are
usually written in C. Both systems use essentially 9P2000 as their
network filesystem protocol.
If you want to write in Limbo, you have to run Inferno, but you can
run Inferno on (l)unix, Windows or Plan 9. If you want to write
applications in C, you can't use Inferno.
