comparing this to IPython Notebook is a big stretch and an insult to MATLAB and IPython notebook. There's no way this would have ever come out of PARC, you're exaggerating Davis's work. Also, it's impossible to "look past the religious stuff" - it's part of, all of TempleOS.
To me this is just a crazy guy who's been tinkering with 80s technology while the rest of the world has moved on. I feel bad for him , but I just don't buy the "powerful idea with serious applications"
- pizza 12y agoIf you don't mind my engaging you: What 'insult' (imho insult is in the mind of the beholder, but that's for another day)? Do you see the religious stuff, in being un-overlookable, also as some kind of insult? But more important to me is your critique of his experiment; do you really feel "bad for him" for exploring ideas of his own labor? C'mon, isn't that what a hacker is? Surely it matters more to be true to your self than to align with the world's reputations. Thank you for your time.
