<isd>jackhill: seems like capnproto-rust would be a great fit <Zarutian_iPad>ACTION been looking again at AmbientTalk, Toontalk, Unas, his ActiveCapCert notes, and such <Zarutian_iPad>Toontalk mainly for its Birdies&Nests communications paradigm <Zarutian_iPad>you give something to a bird, it duplicates itself and the dup flies with that something to its nest <Zarutian_iPad>btw I found a way to allow for sturdyrefs in ACCs.

Is there still interest in such projects? Maybe an update of the project description might help. <cwebber>Christoph[m]: hm! we should look again at that maybe. I think there'd be interest probably if the project could be done through GNU. But IIRC that year, GNU wasn't accepted for GSoC, which was kind of a surprise. But we'd have to figure out who can mentor. Mentoring is a major time commitment and not something we want to commit to idly <cwebber>but I'd love to see more Guix and Goblins integration move forward <Christoph[m]>This year it GNU has been accepted, and right now seems to be the best time to propose topics:
