Perpetual vague unformed irritating idea:
An desktop-to-Internet scalable Functional Reactive network where you reference or construct (as opposed to receive and send) immutable but *not* opaque binary , from an address chain of nested 64 bit address spaces.
I'd, eg, like the fundamental 'object' to be usable for everything from mouse events to blog entries to video frames.
Can't get my head around how construction works, though, without mutation.
@natecull Isn't urbit something like this? Except it invents a bunch of new nonsense terms for standard computer science concepts and the creator is a Nazi.
@natecull Well, Haskell manages to construct immutable things. You just need to have all the field values at construction time. Immutable == write once
