Running native code on Inferno using Vx32

Caerwyn is back at the lab with his new creation: vxinferno, a new Inferno builtin module around Vx32 which allows inferno to run native code in a sandbox, while providing it access to the Inferno namespace.

The potential for this seems great, will allow access to existing C implementations of useful components (eg., compression and multimedia decoding libraries) without sacrificing Inferno’s wonderful security and portability (well, as long as you are on x86, and we all know *the world is an x86 ;)

• inferno programmer’s notebook post describing the work.
• The source code at the Google Code repo.
