There has been ktrans always but the program seemed not
good enough for my daily use then.  I eventually made an
skk-like input program myself. But until then, I used inferno acme.

No, it's not.  It was Inferno 3rd ed. on Windows NT4 and two years ago.

Again, no. :)
Limbo is a good programming language.  Every shortcomings in C
is fixed in Limbo, I think.  Modularity, tuple, array, parallel
programming & communication, etc.  At the same time, Limbo stays
simple and clean compared to other newer languages like c++, java.
Good tools give their user joy on using them.

My understanding is that Inferno is built around the same strong policy
as Plan 9, a file sharing protocol.  But the implementation is different.
It's written in Limbo rather than C.
