Thanks for building Sandstorm, Kenton, and I found the model interesting, though there was no way I'd use it yet because it's a risk to bet on an unproven startup / project. This is the same reason I'd use Node or Rails, not some niche web framework no one has heard of. Or Swift or Java, not OCaml, say. And so on. I wish there was a solution to this chicken-and-egg problem, so that genuinely new and better ideas like yours take off. Open-source helps, but isn't enough, since there are so many abandoned open-source projects, and I don't want to take on the responsibility of maintaining Sandstorm if the team moves on to other things.
