From TFA: "We reduced core Messenger code by 84 percent, from more than 1.7M lines to 360,000." Sounds like not only did they make the app quicker and lighter, they improved code maintenance too. If the android app is as the same

It's probably worth the owner checking out the Lisp Machine, Oberon, and Inferon (A descendent of Plan9 where they improved over the original concept). They say Plan9 is a step in the right direction, but rather than attacking a specif

BBS systems are still alive (SDF has one, and it's reasonably good and well-read). So is IRC and mailing lists, the latter of which encourages the behaviour that Usenet had.
