Today I discovered Hundredrabbits by reading this HN post. And I felt upon this particular article by Hundredrabbits

Hey, brothers!
Just replace in the article “artist” by “mathematician” and you get a perhaps better version of chorasimilarity :))
The same problems as mine, for different, more beautiful to live reasons.
They are on a boat, I try to do open science.
They are on a quest for a computing system which is self-sufficient, that is the same problem I have in OS, where the goal is to just do it, give to the potential reader everything you have, in a form which is simple enough to be used without dependencies.
Heck, even the love for garbage computers, how much I long for understanding in this materialistic world, thank you Hundredrabbits!
And then I saw this illustration (screenshot of phone screenshot from chorasimilarity telegram)
Oooh, this is an image from Zipper logic V, a post from 2014!
So they considered the possibility hahaha: “I went down that rabbit hole, and I barely emerged back alive.”
And also the repeated arguments that this or that does not port easily to silicone… Like chemlambda, where you have to destroy all the time the extra information the silicone needs to describe graphs and therefore most of the computation is actually needed to jump randomly….
Fractions? I know what you refer to, but fractions? What about rational fractions, have you seen Pure See?
I understand the choice of (but not yet fall in love with) Forth, eventually.
What a great post, nice to learn about you, from my virtual boat ;)))
