when I'm working with #SpritelyGoblins and I get an error I like to pretend the goblins are on strike and I have to heed their demands, and then it's always satisfying when things are resolved and the goblins can go home happy
It's a 2023 blog post, but I'm just now learning about this exciting effort to port GNU #Shepherd to #SpritelyGoblins, turning the init system of #Guix into a distributed systems daemon, which could provide functionality along the lines of Kubernetes. How cool! https://spritely.institute/news/spritely-nlnet-grants-december-2023.html

@IngaLovinde I think to some extent #spritelygoblins has had to do something with this since I believe the idea of reversibility is baked in fresh and hot, right into it.

would #anyone like to work on the #lisp spring #gamejam together? starts in 10 days
https://itch.io/jam/spring-lisp-game-jam-2024

i have been futsing about with scheme controlling graphics libraries for simple primitives, and would love a chance to expand out into something cool to test some things, for a demo or the spark of something

probably going to have to do with #asciiart in some capacity, given the time constraint... it would be so cool to do something #spritely #spritelygoblins #hoot #wasm related ;) :D

if you're an 'ideas person' or anything, hang out & backseat, i can stream for about another month or so before i have to pack up and have very uncertain internet connectivity...

Spring Lisp Game Jam 2024

A game jam from 2024-05-17 to 2024-06-03 hosted by David Thompson & technomancy. Lisp Game Jam is a recurring game jam taking place for a full 10 days. After the jam has finished, 3 days are given to everyone to try out the game su...

Oooh.. #spritelygoblins at #fosdem 👀

Enabling, sustaining and coordinating more creative and forward-thinking tech development would be a necessity for the Free Fediverse. The ActivityPub protocol itself is in the process of being enclosed by Zuckerberg and his assets right now.

Fortunately there are alternative possibilities, not least among them the next-generation Spritely Goblins protocol of another AP co-author, @cwebber . More on Spritely Goblins here:

https://spritely.institute/goblins/

Supporting this effort, and combining the efforts of the numerous Masto forks into a definitive Free Fedi microblogging replacement, could be the way to build our ark and render our resolve tangible.

I am finally reading @cwebber 's whitepaper on #SpritelyInstitute and #SpritelyGoblins and wow what a breath of fresh air. There is so much to love here, but the Goblin/object-centric design is really interesting, especially in the context of social systems which are typically actor-centric. Can I also say how refreshing it is to read a document where the authors clearly care about the people reading it understanding what's going on? "We use this dialect of Lisp because it is more familiar to people unfamiliar with LISP, and if you want to understand more about it we have written an appendix for that."

This is also one of the rare cases where the naming universe escapes typical programmer dreariness and really works - a Goblin is a self contained object with capabilities, i can imagine those little guys running around the internet on their own. A Goblin is spawned from a Vat which serves as its context, etc.

only like a 5th through but i really like what i'm reading
