A strange environment, it does not seem to run C like you mentioned earlier or Perl, everything is implemented in HTML -- in the marketplace they are even planning to mark their html5 apps as to whether they are hosted or useable offline. The clarify of presentation of privacy and protocol features is nice.

Feels wonderful to finally have working ringtone, alarm, loud-speaker, GPS after having used Nemo on N950 for about half a year without being able to hack it properly as it was the only daily phone and I was just sticking to an April release of their OS and flashing that repeatedly after it randomly stopped making sounds so I couldn't take or make phone calls.

Hope to play with the Nemo things a bit more in the future as they migrate to Wayland and change things, mobile Linux is evolving as a lot of useful Linux apps exist and are not in HTML5 (htop, ncdu, ack, a huge set of Qt apps such as Quassel, and I am sort-of looking forward to Perl being used on mobile platforms more).

The new HTML5 OS such as FirefoxOS and Tizen get to package apps in a way that makes them easily portable and I would expect things to become more universal at some point hopefully. Hopefully within mobile Linux world too so users get to play with different programming languages and systems which are already enriched with a variety of existing applications.

So I would be looking forward to a world of mobile Linux where a user can write an app (eg alarm clock) or a graphical interface (such as xfce on desktop) and it would be immediately available on all phones that run mer (or whatever else can play such role) by means of drivers in its kernel and a readily accessible repository.
