The ircfs site t is up now:

ircfs is great, and its gui is great too, and mjl is a great hacker.

I have some trouble taking any Inferno GUI seriously when its clipboard won't communicate with the host. The only means of cutting, copying, or pasting is a menu, which I shouldn't need to say is far worse than key-bindings. No way to copy from some apps (e.g. wm/man) is another nasty. That said, plumbing URLs could be nice. It saves coding link detection into the client, at least.

Also, after putting Inferno into full-screen mode, how do you get it out?


And does the world really need yet another python irc client? And I'm
not sure what makes merp particularly 'suckless' (whatever anything
written in Python can be 'suckless' is very questionable).

But I do praise the choice of Tk for the gui.

The old wmii community probably knows that one well enough, but for
all the others I'd like to promote ircfs from Mechiel Lukkien. It runs
on inferno and includes a 9p server and tk client.
Sadly his site is currently down, but here's a paper from him:
