Hi! Yes, Spritely started Hoot to get Spritely's programs, built on top of Spritely Goblins, to a wider audience. And the network protocol we use / co-designed is OCapN, which is i…

Well that seems like some bug in your blog promotion pipeline

Yes! But it's still valuable. How am I understanding your argument at all? I think my friend Jonathan Rees put it best: "Language is a continuous reverse engineering effort, where …

The point is not primarily the court. The court is an example of someplace where we have accountability, but we build accountability mechanisms as foundational to most of our compu…

It may be possible to get Shepherd to work with Hoot eventually! I'm not sure what on earth it would mean though. What daemons would you manage in the browser? But it's indeed a fu…

That's almost every article on HN, though. Don't use inheritance, don't use C, use Kubernetes, don't use Kubernetes, etc etc. I suspect the thing that's bothering people in the com…
