Inferno OS

Inferno is an operating system for creating and supporting distributed services .The name of the operating system and of its associated programs, as well as of the company Vita Nuova Holding that produces it, were inspired by the litrary works of Dante Alighieri, particularly the Divine Comedy
Inferno runs in hosted mode under several different operating systems or natively on a range of hardware architectures. In each configuration the operating system presents the same standard interfaces to its applications. A communications protocol called Styx is applied uniformly to access both local and remote resources.
Applications are written in the type-safe Limbo programming language, whose binary representation is identical over all platforms.

A communications protocol called Styx is applied uniformly to access both local and remote resources, which applications use by calling standard file operations, open, read, write, and close. As of the fourth edition of Inferno, Styx is identical to Plan 9's newer version of its hallmark 9P protocol, 9P2000.

The name of the operating system and of its associated programs, as well as of the company Vita Nuova Holdings that produces it, were inspired by the literary works of Dante Alighieri, particularly the Divine Comedy.
