Oh there's still a lot of work to do before it's possible, but things like WASM pthreads, gc, etc are moving along.

Someday someone is gonna make a bunch of money selling CPUs implementing a WASM VM ("death of javascript") and/or lambda calc (Reduceron) in hardware.

FWIW, NI URIs[0] were a stab at this. So you'd have something protocol-independent, like <video src="ni:///sha-256;UyaQV-Ev4rdLoHyJJWCi11OHfrYv9E1aGQAlMO2X_-Q" />. I hoped they'd be part of the

To sum it up, it's a kind of chicken-and-egg. Imperative/OO is tied to the physical implementation of processors, whereas FP is tied to a mathematical construct for which conventional CPUs are not optimized. Related: https:/

ARDOP[0] is the planned replacement data protocol for Winlink, and is slowly shaping out to be a faster, OS-agnostic open source system. Unfortunately, there's still a FCC limit[1] on HAM radio "symbol rate", which hamstrings

Is that actually true, though (especially w.r.t. Forward Secrecy)? Don't both parties generate separate halves of a symmetric key independently, preventing any one party from forcing the use of a particular key on a new session?

Cool – hadn't heard of that before. I was thinking more along the lines of a purely server-side approach: $_REQUEST["salted_SHA_hash_of_symmetric_TLS_key"] You'd save the current key to a DB, and manually check it

I'm excited to see where concepts from isomorphic JS and stuff like browserfy will end up. Obvious stuff aside, imagine what you could do with a fully-baked unified model and a bit of P2P glue...
