Sadly, this article has nothing to do with an inferno OS port to js. http://www.vitanuova.com/inferno/ http://www.vitanuova.com/inferno/

  Agreed and similarly disappointed. Can we please change the title to point out that this is specific to ReactJS?
  • idbehold 10y ago
    This isn't about ReactJS.
  • trueadm 10y ago
    This has nothing to do with React. This is a JavaScript library called Inferno – the title makes sense to people in the JavaScript scene.

    OK, we've attempted to do that and still be accurate.

  My interpretation of the title was that it was going to discuss how the Dis VM[1] compared to popular JS VMs, but I was sorely disappointed. (Inferno, for those not aware of it, is a rather obscure successor to the almost-as-obsure Plan 9 From Bell Labs. Plan 9, in turn, was supposed to be the replacement for UNIX. Unfortunately it failed because UNIX was "an existing codebase that is just good enough"[2]; its main lasting contribution was the invention of UTF-8[3].)

    I'm sorry, this topic has nothing to do with the operating system. Inferno in this context is a popular JavaScript library for building UIs, not an operating system.

      Yes, I figured that out as soon as I started reading the article. :) I just figured I'd give some context to thread readers who'd never heard of the OS and were wondering what we were going on about.

  It would be amazing to have acme on a browser :)
