87/ yeah, I'm happy it's having some success! I just think that it will explode in popularity once someone writes the-very-last-ever-program-in-Hoon, which is the interpreter for some better languagehttps://twitter.com/mr_archenemy/status/1502360815009157121 …

102/ me: "Tlon has made a lot of decisions that make it very hard for interested newbs to understand WTF they're talking about" a Tlom emploee / Urbit defender: "yes...that's because WE DON'T THINK ABOUT YOU AT ALL" [ literal quote ]https://twitter.com/pcmonk/status/1502347522794147840 …

103/ Exactly Tlon is content with some fraction of people [ 5% ? 0.5% ? ] who want to learn Hoon being able to succeed bc of selection bias: they poll among those who succeed. They freely admit (see prev tweet) that they don't think about newbs at all.https://twitter.com/ThatDubiousCat/status/1502390438866554883 …

105/ I gave up on it, because trying to contribute to a thing and being yelled at is demoralizing. (also, I had a personal snit with a related Name where I was repeatedly insulted for no reason ... so ...)https://twitter.com/LinManuelRwanda/status/1502403669643431945 …

115/ Yeah, once I figured out - despite the best efforts of the documentation writers - that the One Big Secret of Hoon was that you can't modify data, but you can clone-data-with-modifications, and then execute inside that cloned subject, it blew my mind. Very simple Very cool

116/ Yeah, the jets seem deeply problematic to me. No time to type now; maybe I'll add more to this thread later.https://twitter.com/LinManuelRwanda/status/1502414340284157954 …

119/ I find this insanely annoying it's more "the Apple way" than "the Unix way". Shell should just accept what I type and then give me error msgs, not constrain my ability to enter input. Almost get the impression it was designed by some reactionary.https://twitter.com/EricRichards22/status/1502416903691718658 …

123/ By making networking simple and putting invariants around it, and then insisting that every piece of software (a) runs in a very very simple VM that is correct, and (b) never accesses [ potentially race conditioned ] state, but only accesses state that is modified via 'a' >

124/ I am far more convinced about the logical correct behavior of a given stack built in pure Hoon VM / Nock / Hoon. Now, I said LOGICALLY correct ...not code correct. You can definitely write buggy software ...but by avoiding a thousand different kinds of undefined behavior

125/ ...you have definitely created a much much much better situation. So this part is wonderful, and I love it. HOWEVER ... now we get to the JQ
Show this thread -
126/ "the Jet Question" The Nock VM is super basic, has very few operations, and does not, for example, support subtraction So how do you calculate 999 - 3? The correct Nock approach is, IIRC, to start with 0, add 3 to it, and see if that's 999. If not, try 1, add 3 to it...

127/ I might be wrong. It might not be exactly that flavor of retardation ; it might be some almost identical but slightly different flavor of retardation. So, instead of writing this yourself every single time you need to subtract, you write a library function that does it.
