Unfortunately unrelated to Inferno the operating system, which was warped into running in a browser, many moons ago. http://www.vitanuova.com/inferno/
The Internet Explorer ActiveX plugin version of Inferno didn't get much traction. Although I did think "ooh, don't tell me someone has compiled Inferno OS to Javascript, that would be awesome" nope.

These days, JS parse time on mobile devices is more important than file size. And that isn't even necessarily file size specific - Nolan Lawson did a comparison of the different methods used to bundle JS to show how they can have a huge impact: https://nolanlawson.com/2016/08/15/the-cost-of-small-modules...
Still does 38kB really matter if the rest of your app requires parsing of several hundreds of kB of JS?
Here we go again. I click the link. Get to an under construction page. Click the link, get to Github, think "this is interesting" to myself. Read on. Find there's a project called Cerebral, which is a state management library for React/Inferno/Whatever. Start thinking there's something wrong with my app, that's "just" about to launch, and is "just" using plain old Redux. And now I'm thinking it's not good enough any…

With respect, friend, you do it to yourself... If a mention of a new library on HN is enough to shake your confidence and make you think your entire app stack is wrong - that's not a Javascript problem. I understand feeling overwhelmed with all the new libraries, but get confident with a JS stack that you like, and stop worrying about all the hype.
Considering the lifetime of JS frameworks nowadays, the website has been "coming soon" for ages. http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://infernojs.org/
Doesn't mean much. I purchase domains for rainy day ideas all the time.

There's far more to Inferno than just file size. The internal implementation is completely different. Furthermore, React Fiber and Inferno are very different in terms of internal approach.
Thanks for your reply Dominic. As an end user, what should compel me to use Inferno for any production purposes? Bearing in mind React has the support of multiple billion dollar companies, several targets (web, native mobile/desktop, console) and a community of what is sure to be tens if not hundreds of thousands of developers. I just don't see the benefit of incremental improvements when they're not being integrated…
Just a note to people expecting an actual website – we are in the process of building one and you can see what it will look like here: https://twitter.com/trueadm/status/802675565421625344 Furthermore, if anyone has any questions feel free to ask away (I'm the author of Inferno). :)
I don't know if it's been spotted but the logo looks a lot like Code Igniter's one.

Inferno is basically React, so instead of contributing to react to make it better they made a new project instead. Hipster hype is a PROBLEM in the JS community.

I dont want to bash, just thinking maybe there should be some universal jsframework theme (even playing field). I feel like one of the big reasons vue became popular is because it had proffesionaly looking design from v0.01. Compare that to for example mithrill and many people will just pick vue straight away.
Its good idea to have nice page.
