making my own browser framework that can use something like librewolf as a web renderer and other graphical components and runtimes for other protocols. though I think that means that i’ll be retiring tomo-el-fuego in favor of a different runtime architecture. there’s a lot that I like about inferno, but modernizing it enough to actually use anywhere is another story. I doubt this is the end of my infernal experiments, but I can only do so much at a time innit.

in some ways, tomo el fuego is an effort to break away from electron and javascript as the basis for application development. specifically p2p messaging, but there are a lot of general applications too. its true that i could have set this concern aside to focus on making the p2p things that i’ve been talking about over the last several years. i might have done something there, but i really don’t want to accept the status quo there. i want a much smaller foundation to build on than a web browser and an event library with V8 bolted on. dynamic 9-flavored p2p is coming, but there’s quite a bit more foundational work to do first.

one way or another, tomo el fuego is slowly coming together #osdev https://sunshinegardens.org/~xj9/wiki/tomo/

dev snapshots of tomo el fuego are now available https://sunshinegardens.org/~xj9/wiki/tomo/ #tomo #inferno #plan9

inferno is not GPL anymore and i’m so happy. insta merge that shit boii https://src.sunshinegardens.org/~xj9/tomo/graph

tomo is updated and NO LONGER GPL gemini://sunshinegardens.org/~xj9/posts/2021-05-05-tomo-inferno-license/
