Well. Rieser tried to keep his professional and criminal lives separate. RieserFS wasn't an expression of his revolutionary worldview.

And I was going to point out that Java survived Patrick McNaughton, FOSS survived ESR, etc.

From the whitepaper, Urbit looks bitchin. I love its audacity. In that way, reminds me of Linda (tuplespaces), Xanadu, Jef Raskin's Humane Interfaces (Canon Cat), and others.

Alas. It appears Urbit and its creator's worldview are inseparable.

I'll wait for the reboot. Or maybe just glean some of its ideas.

Thanks for the head's up.
