&quot;...and we think they all suck.&quot;<p>Was he referring to Limbo?<p>Plan 9 or Inferno on a smartphone form factor would tempt me to use one. The only reason I&#x27;m not using Plan 9 everyday is hardware support.<p>I don&#x27;t dare say what I think of Java and Android. But let&#x27;s just say I see things a little differently than Lindholm.<p>Rubin used C and NetBSD at Danger before he went to Google. Remember the T-Mobile Sidekick?<p>Microsoft bought Danger and shut it down.<p>A sad state of affairs but I guess it&#x27;s all about the money.<p>All this and more will be in my upcoming fact-inspired novel, &quot;Litigating mediocrity&quot;.
