Why not Inferno for iPhone or Symbian or Android? If one is going to
research multitouch/small-scree GUIs, one will want to write
applications, and being able to write apps in Limbo for either
platform would be a big win, plus you get all the drawterm
functionality for free, and could be the basis of an Octopus port.

Porting drawterm is a dead end with very little potential of either
learning anything interesting or being useful in the future.
