  is he still active? always enjoyed his output. i see some erlang and elixir influences in potion... wait, are YOU still active? ;) (I believe I was once a registered user of your app that, uh, downloaded a ton of movie clips into a… catalogue of sorts… you know the one…) There’s a lot of older tech that deserves more love because it’s still great despite losing that new-language smell (I’m sure `io` fits that bill!). I’ve been messing around with the “es” shell and scripting language after getting frustrated with /(ba|c|z)?sh/ (bourne-lineage shells) quirks for the umpteenth time and finally discovering the “rc” family of shells (ok so was plan9 from the future or something? Because it had waaay more good ideas than it is credited for…) I forked it but now I kinda want to slap a real test suite on it (ready for contributors…) and rebrand it as something new, maybe name it “holysh” since that was my joyful exclamation after reading the es docs and paper…

    _why not, I'm maintaining it now. The MOP from IO is beautiful.

    "wait, are YOU still active?" -> The last several years, I've been working on no/low code client side JS frameworks, but it's not quite ready for a compelling demo yet...
