Android is the closest to it, currently.
Managed runtime on top of UNIX like kernel and OS IPC everywhere.
That’s only tangentially similar to Inferno, and completely unlike Plan9.

Lol. Accessing a file in android is a mess.
Depends on the point of view regarding OS APIs.
As a user i do not use APIs. I use apps. And every attempt to save something is an exercise in pain.
