Hey,

> I heard mention of inferno in a few posts. Does anyone here still use that? If so why? I'm interested in seeing what it looks like dare i say on top of 9front?

I only use inferno on windows in acme sac (yes, it's based on inferno).

I think the main use case is like java: implement a nice 9p app with gui etc and run it on inferno base, either packaged into one package per app or using inferno as the desktop for multiple apps.

I once wrote a gridchat app for inferno, with gui etc. It worked the last time I checked and should still work. I didn't manage to package it with inferno, so you can't just download and run it.
