Inferno is what modern browsers and mobile OS's wish they were. I'd even venture far and say that If someone were to build a modern browser for plan 9, I'd want it built inside of inferno out of pieces connected and isolated via 9p/namespaces and ran as an application (and bare metal on a tablet). Dis is similar to WASM so you deliver web apps as actual applications. Done.
Too bad it's stuck with hard coded 32 bit dependency. It also cant build on 64 bit systems unless they have 32bit compat (windows/linux win here). There's a fork maintained by some 9front users called Purgatorio. Charles Forsyth also still pokes at it and just added Risc-V support. It's not dead, just resting. Patches welcome.
