The graphical part isn't working yet. Before you go patting me on the back, I made this heresy with the finest vials of developer tears and matrix multiplication machines I could muster. Nothing is sacred. All will join the collective.

More heresies to come. It's 9P or nothing.

A Dis virtual machine and Limbo compiler

Hi,

I've made an early version of a Dis virtual machine and Limbo programming language compiler (called RiceVM) in Rust. It can run Dis bytecode (for example, Inferno OS applications), compile Limbo programs, and includes a fairly complete runtime with garbage collection, concurrency features, and many of the standard modules from Inferno OS's original implementation.

The project is still in an early stage, but if you're interested in learning more about RiceVM or trying it out, you can check out the links below:
