Huh you're right. I had worked with interpreted WASM before, which is why I thought that was more common. WASM is a great system, but quite complex -- the spec for Mog is roughly 1…

The host is written in Rust, with `extern "C"`, which makes it able to be loaded as a C library by programs written in other languages. Most languages have support for this. It's a…

I generally agree. TypeScript is a great language, and JS runtimes have certainly had a lot of money and effort poured into them for a long time. I would add WASM to this category,…

Mog is AOT-compiled, not JIT'd. JIT means the code is interpreted until some condition kicks in to trigger compilation. This is obviously common and provides a number of advantages…

Hi, Ted here, creator of Mog. - Mog is a statically typed, compiled, embedded language (think statically typed Lua) designed to be written by LLMs -- the full spec fits in 3,200 to…

I wrote a programming language for extending AI agents, called Mog. It's like a statically typed Lua. Most AI agents have trouble enforcing their normal permissions in plugins and …

Did somebody say 'global namespace'? I spent years working on one of those as part of Urbit... In general, I think you're right. Each conversation is an append-only log at the lowe…

Hi, I'm the other author on this paper. You've asked a good question. I had originally planned on writing an agentic_reduce operator to complement the agentic_map operator, but the…

Today, Urbit has chat, blogging, a basic weather app, and a lot of programming facilities. Eventually it should be able to run a document editor, and you can do things similar to i…

Yes, that's an important point. You'll have a service contract with the infrastructure node responsible for routing packets to you -- you'll pay them to route to you. There are two…

Overlay OS might not be a great term. Urbit is a program you can run on Linux or MacOS intended to provide a complete personal computing experience on its own. It runs as a virtual…

I do work for Tlon, if that wasn't obvious. I also find the "computer" terminology misleading, so I'm with you on that. Why would you want to use Urbit? The same reasons you want t…

from the FAQ: "In early 2019, Curtis left the Urbit project and gave all of his voting interest (both as address space and voting shares in the company) back to Tlon. He retains a …

Yes. Not exactly a standard term, but there is no standard term for what Urbit is. It's VM, personal server, yes -- but those don't clearly convey the scope of the project.

Canonical pronunciation for each character is a wonderful thing, and I use it all the time to discuss code. If there's one thing other projects should steal from Urbit, it's this. …

Urbit only uses a blockchain as a ledger of who owns which addresses within the network and root DNS for peer discovery. The OS itself runs as a VM on your machine (either a Linux …

jspot dev here. fixed speed issue with help from Nick Martin from Meteor. Turns out I was running a dev-mode proxy to auto-reload code, but Nick figured out we could bypass it in t…

@saint-loup Good catch! That was old code, not noticeable in my usual browser. It's gone now.

Does anyone know a) how this works under the hood, i.e. are they using phantomjs to handle apps with long-standing connections, or b) how they measure latency: page load time, DOM …
