For some truly innovative operating system and programming language, I recommend everybody to go learn about Urbit.

http://www.urbit.org/



I am very glad that Urbit exists and is being funded. I have corresponded with the author and differ with him on some design decisions that I consider significant. Nonetheless, it is an excellent example of the "rethink everything" type of ambition that I would like to see expressed more.


Quote from their tutorial: Whipping or clamming on a %weed simply ignores the sample and reproduces the example - as does bunting, of course. However, %weed remains quite useful. Clearly free thinking people.


Urbit made my head hurt. Interesting, but in an "I don't want to go there and do real work with it at all ever" way.



I'm still scared after watching their videos, too psychedelic.
