Urbit exists right now, anyone with a command line can download it, create a comet, and see what they think. It can't be denied that it's a practical option, given that there are thousands (maybe in the tens?) of users who are doing stuff on the network. There's a lot of work which needs to be done, to make the core event loop faster, and enable scaling to the kind of social graph celebrities have. I'm confident in the technical leadership of the project at this point in time. Full disclosure: I've been a user of urbit for many years, and stand to benefit materially if it becomes popular. I neither work on urbit nor on urbit things, never have, and have invested no money in either urbit or its address space. I still think it's a good idea, just like I did when it was barely usable and much weirder.
