Hello. I'm Beni, from Israel. Work at Red Hat. Been lurking (podcast, newsletter, link-walking) for ~2 years. Interested in all the ways in which open source ostensibly allows user modification of software but falls short of making it approachable. Love esoteric languages [making me a poor judge of what's approachable 😆]. Obsessed with Boxer; dream of stealing some ideas from it into a unix window/file manager, but 100% vaporware at this point.

Whoa, how have I not heard of https://www.endlessos.org until now?! Thanks for the tip! Compare https://git.sr.ht/~akkartik/driver.love. Also https://forum.malleable.systems in case you missed it in your link-walking.

Hi Beni! I’m Yair and you might recognize me from two decades ago when we worked in the same org 🙂 I’m also interested in the same idea among other things and approaching it from starting from making a good PL that is more approachable and farther in the future hopefully ending up with something that can also be a good working environments for end-users. More info at lamdu.org 🙂

Howdy Yair👋 Sure enough, i've been following your Lamdu videos. And lots of Kartik's stuff, and found malleable.systems recently.
