Walfield (neal) at the moment. +Quite much is saying a bit to little: hurd-l4 looks steamingly active in the commits :) + +And there is the PyHurd project. It attempts to create a full binding to the GNU/Hurd API, so people should someday be able to, for example, create translators in Python. + +There's been more - a lot more in fact, but much of it is above my coding horizon, and this entry shall end someplace (it's late - too late :) ). + +Best wishes, +Arne + |
