> the NuPRL project is like this in what way? Difficult to obtain and get running (I'm told by everyone I've asked). So definitely not the first thing; mostly those last two things. And yeah, I think that high-quality source code is definitely a pretty impressive feat when researchers pull in off. And I also agree source code should be provided. But beyond providing a VM, I think it's really dangerous to sort of fixate on building software that's easy to setup/use. There's a pretty significant time cost there in some cases, and it's worth asking whether that's what we want to be spending our Science dollars on.
