in war there are no winners, only widows. make love, not war!
towards an information system that can last a century or more.
Flow adaptably and cultivate things. Biomimic software systems.
a distributed cache architecture, inspired by research into high-density mobile adhoc networks. designed for familiarity. as avantgarde as some of my projects can be, i'm very aware that programming intuition is based on experience. your productivity depends on it. relax is meant to bring the research ideas that follow into totally familiar web development workflows.
gemweb is used to render this page! proper i18n support is next up on our agenda. for now, you'll find a mix of english, nahuatl, spanish, and portugues on various pages. the application runs on a trusted shared hosting service that keeps the spirit of the 90s internet alive. the heart of this experiment is a joke written in sed. future versions will run on tomo's new scheme runtime.
the programming language PHP is frequently disparaged (sometimes for good reason), but the development and deployment workflows are miles above what most other environments provide. in the 90s php and cgi were already providing the type of "low maintenance" infrastructure that modern serverless offerings provide at much lower complexity. there is absolutely room for improvement over cgi and php individually, but its harder to claim that there are systems that beat them together.
i'll admit, gemweb isn't written in php or your typical web scripting language, but its fun and the dev experience is honestly fantastic outside of being somewhat awk-ward to program in certain cases. 9rc is a surprisingly nice shell scripting language similar to bash. i had a good laugh while writing it.
a research operating system. provides a portable build toolchain, register vm jit kernel, and operating system overlay. useful for experimenting with networks and self-healing distributed systems. used as a tool for experimentation and expressing long-term aspirations, including our high-density mesh network and open starship project.
i have a lot to say on the topic, please ask me about it or browse the repo if you're interested.
