I came across Future Of Coding while doing a random search on the Internet for Alan Kay fans! Thank you @stevekrouse and @Ivan Reese for this community! I’m an imagineer and protocol designer and believe also that the computer revolution has not happened yet. I’m this guy: https://awake.vc/amit I’m here to indulge my first loves: functional programming, distributed computing, new abstractions, smart people, early-stage startups, alien tech. I would love to contribute in various ways to cool projects I’m sure you all have. I also have a couple of new side projects I’m looking to find kindred spirits for, one has to do with a better software stack for modern Internet applications, and the other is a new Tangle-type abstraction for shared secrets. Oh, in what seems like a past life, I wrote Clojure in Action (https://awake.to/clojure).

hi! we got at least one clojure project @Pawel Ceranka’s https://www.nette.io/

Since you mentioned in another thread that you are working on opentangle.ai, here some unsolicitated feedback on that site after a less-than-one-minute visit. In fact, I closed the tab after the first paragraph: "Opentangle is a new approach to knowledge representation that we call knowledge generation. Relying on Heisenberg Uncertainty in order to unsee the universe, Opentangle undoes Entanglement of the Observer and the Observed." 1. Generation and representation are very different things. 2. Heisenberg uncertainty is a very precise technical term from physics that applies to quantum states and nothing else. 3. Entanglement is also a very precise technical term in quantum physics, but it doesn't happen between observer and the observed. For a first impression, it couldn't be worse. Tab closed. I hope the project is more serious than its advertising.

FWIW, Generation, Representation, Uncertainty, Entanglement are all English words first, and are used in various contexts including in physics words have different meanings in different contexts what you have demonstrated is an example of what I’m talking about - you as the observer are entangled by the meaning of those symbols you observe, and your infinite intelligence is used to react in a limited way to data (translated into information which you limited to certain knowledge) opentangle undoes all this … so we can create real AI by leveraging real intelligence …. the first step is to treat data as data, not as information

It's perfectly OK to make people reflect about their habits, but if you do that in the opening paragraph of a Web site that so far has zero reputation, you have to be a lot more explicit about this.

@Konrad Hinsen quite agree … we’re working on the commercialization side, so when we do talk about this project more, it will be through live examples making a lot of money on the Internet … but fair critique
