It literally is built on top of everything else which it directly against the impetus of the project in the first place. This is a critique that boils down to "they haven't achieved their actual goal in full yet". What do you want? They have to start somewhere, and when you are reimagining an existing system from the ground up, there will necessarily be usage of existing tools even if your goal is to eventually supplant them. The whole point of something like jets is because you have to interact with what exists right here right now, at least with this there is a bright line between the new stuff (running purely in a nock/hoon VM), the bridge code, and the runtime for what ever operating system. The fact that something like https://github.com/mopfel-winrux/NockPU https://github.com/mopfel-winrux/NockPU (nock in hardware) is even possible is amazing.

My point was that it is ontologically opposed to its purpose and inception. It was on track and sent off the rails. It required a start, it changed its direction, and is no longer the same project in spirit. Urbit as the original idea which was not supposed to change has changed and more specifically Tlon is responsible for the change of direction which they’ve even forked into multiple teams now. There existed at some point progress towards the vision of Urbit, and as of now it is so far beyond that scope it has retreated from a static namespace of computational vapor ware into perpetual “non-maxwellian” ever-growing “ball of mud” bolted onto the status-quo of today with ever increasing complexity. \(-.-)/
