Broadly, love seeing projects like this. Entirely too much wheel reinvention going on, well, everywhere in software. Let's go back, see what worked pretty well for a long while, and just updated or rewrite it to similar specs. Any more things going on like this?

- stjohnswarts 5y agoDoesn't his comment about rewriting it answer all those questions though but keep the core of the principles of the software intact?
