[edit] History

Charon was originally written by Howard Trickey in Limbo for Inferno. It runs under the wm window manager, but can also run directly on the draw device. It supports a subset of the HTML and ECMAScript standards.

Charon was later ported to C by the author to become the unfinished Plan 9 i web browser.

As part of the acme standalone project, Charon was implemented as a client to run inside acme[1].
