Hmmm. Might be coincidence, but today I noticed Inferno was back on GitHub as well (it had been living on Bitbucket): https://github.com/inferno-os/inferno-os

This is great news altogether - I've been dabbling with Plan9 for a fair bit (mostly on Raspberry Pis of late as they are nicer "disposable" machines and I have plenty of them), so am hopeful that this will lead to more modern versions (especially something whose UX does not rely on mouse chording, which is a chore on modern machines).

Inferno was fun back in the day - Limbo is a neat language with some interesting features.

I was surprised nobody mentioned the OS they built next, after Plan 9 - Inferno:

That's the one I've used and it was pretty cool. Limbo was a fun little scripting language.

Looks abandoned - last issues are from 2017 and the build system fails when you run it, it points to resources online that no longer exist. Why did this get posted?
