I just found Spritely on Genode - Can it use the kernel's capabilities? , a new thread is not needed thanks to those already curious folks contained within. I am going to install Genode on metal, try some hacky stuff, then post in that linked thread. See you soon!

I’m happy to lure people in but I am only µFork curious, I’ve not contributed and unfortunately I am not familiar with the details.

I apologise for misattribution Emery, I am reading so much and the result can be chaotic, going back and revisiting the trail to avoid more social errors. It is very tempting to launch into discussing all of the parallel activity in the Actor/OCapN space traversing from microprocessors to UI, I have yet to discover a broad literature review anywhere.
Hello! I met Christine on Bluesky a little while ago, she introduced me to Spritely, and I’ve spent a lot of time since voraciously reading docs and watching talks. It’s the first technology in a while that really excites my jaded heart 
A few words about me: Scheme was probably the first language I loved. For my comp sci masters I worked on a Haskell strictness analyzer in Scheme, I also used it for a couple of hobby projects, and at a horrible, horrible startup that was heavily Java based I wrote a small Scheme-like interpreter in Java to make development more pleasant and interactive, before such things were commonplace. (It had lexical binding but no macros or continuations so pretty far from a real Scheme though.)
After burning out hard in industry I went back to school and got a Ph.D in physics (ask me about gravitational waves!) These days I work in the research computing group at a university, bridging the gap between researchers and computing resources. We have a high performance slurm cluster, but I mostly focus on our high throughput cluster which uses HTCondor as the scheduler. When Juliana mentioned HPC during the Shepard with Goblins talk it definitely grabbed my interest, though I think there might also be some interesting possibilities here in HTC. After all, the HTCondor daemons communicate over the network to orchestrate remote processes, that seems to have at least some overlap with Shepard.
Anyway, nice to be here! I don’t know if or how much I’ll actually be able to contribute but I’ll be eagerly watching developments and doing at least some experiments at home (got a cozy Guix VM already set up!)

Hi there!
I’m Gonzalo, and while I heard about Spritely from System Crafters and Mastodon, I’ve been recently interested in Hoot for the upcoming Lisp Game Jam.
I’ve been working as a web developer (using Django and related tech) for years, and occasionally making games as a hobby, but been enjoying learning Lisp recently.

Hi, I’m pukkamustard and first got in contact with Spritely-esque ideas at ActivityPub Conf 2019. Things I’ve worked on include openEngiadina (https://openEngiadina.net), ERIS and Ctrl+All. Currently, I have the pleasure of working on some ERIS and Goblins integration (https://codeberg.org/eris/goblins-eris ).
