Inferno OS Running On Android Phones

New submitter Digi-John writes "Employees at Sandia National Labs have put the Inferno OS on Android-based phones, replacing the default Java UI. Applications are written in Limbo rather than Java. The full announcement is at the bitbucket repository, and a short video demonstrates some of its capabilities."

Meh, do the same with X

[Anonymous Coward]

Someone should do something similar to get X running on the Android kernel. Dump Java like this does and just run native X apps.

Seems like it wouldn't be hard, just need an X.org or whatever with framebuffer support. X.org might be too big though, a stripped down non-networkable X might offer better performance.

Re:Programmers can see the potential

Mod parent up! As a programmer, I can definitely see the potential and I plan on porting my Bitcoin mining program to Inferno OS.

They put Limbo on an Inferno phone

[Ukab the Great]

Because SNOBOL wouldn't have a chance in there.
