I really would like to support this, but I seem to miss the big picture. Looking at the github repos, Solid appears to be mostly about giving a second life to TBL's and W3c's failed pet projects, notably semantic web, linked data, RDF, SPARQL, JSON-LD.
- bass3l 8y agoI think Solid is the way those inventions (Linked data, RDF...etc) were meant to be used with each other.
- TuringTest 8y agoWhat's wrong with bringing those back to life? Their organizing features have been unmatched by any application we have today, except maybe wikis. They didn't fail for not being useful, but because their engineering was clunky and their demands on resources were way beyond the hardware of the time. Also those systems were too complex for the classic programming techniques. Now that we have a better understanding of reactive programming and async dependencies, maybe we can finally build the tools ecosystem to take advantage of homoiconic data, and these systems can take off.
