A little bit of history: Forsyth did the 64-bit compiler for the Plan 9 on Blue Gene project.

(I contributed to the project too: I did the photochop of glenda on the side of the BG racks! ;)

Forsyth is also "the Inferno guy" (well, one of them!). I've had a lot of fun playing around with that little OS over the years.

It can run without an MMU too. It's been ported to the Nintendo DS.
