I played with various orbs on and off for many years. The only system I ever found that somewhat worked was VNC which used omniORB. However VNC is mainly about remote frame buffers so I think it's fair to say VNC achieved a modicum o

A year ago I started using Elm for a side project where I wanted to let my users go beyond typical Markdown and templates and apply their own processing rules on html/css generated by an Elm view. Unfortunately I discovered Elm's
