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. uriel On Thu, Mar 26, 2009 at 1:30 PM, Federico G.
