Interestingly you can say the same about Rust and Servo. After all the browser is essentially becoming an operating system with an entirely different trust model.

I wonder if we can include Go here? I understand that it's a descendent of Limbo, which was developed as part of Plan 9.

Go is very similar to Limbo. Seriously, really similar, because some of the same people wrote both.

Limbo is a programming language that compiles to instructions for the Dis VM, which is what runs the Inferno operating system.

Inferno came about as a way to use some of the good ideas from Plan 9 in other devices, such as telephones and set-top boxes.
