Wow... that's quite the article.

If we split the difference and look at about 10 years on, my thinking is
pretty well represented by a keynote I gave:

Changes in the Languages of the Web
<https://www.w3.org/2009/Talks/02wdn/slides#(1)>
contemporary write-up: Changes in the Languages of the Web with Dan
Connolly - DZone Web Dev
<https://dzone.com/articles/changes-languages-web-dan>

I'm still interested in web logic, but JavaScript, among other things,
shows me/us that we should be looking at *effective* logics, i.e.
programming languages. I haven't managed to write that up...

More recently, I have to admit dabbling in this blockchain stuff. But
mostly because it allows me to pursue a long-time interest: smart contracts
and capability security.

*Computers are getting faster, smaller, more connected, and more capable,
but when it comes to security, everything is broken. Along...*


That brings me to a talk that has some of my current thinking:

More recently, we have RChain Blues
<https://www.madmode.com/2019/rchain-blues.html>, so I'm not holding my
breath about that question.

Meanwhile...
