There are a few of us using it for hobby stuff[0][1] and there are
apparently people using it for actual commercial stuff.
There was a session about this at LPC 2025...

One of the big problems for nommu seems to be that everyone is
convinced it is completely unused and totally broken. :)

Cheers,

Daniel
