yeah urbit was always kinda crazy to me

what do you mean by "an urbit model"? because I think you might be incorrect.

if you mean "at the level of sitting down and writing code, there is no distinction between on disk and in memory", then sure. there are some other similarities, but less than you (seem to) think.

I mean to be fair thats the first thing this reminded me of, do you have a writeup or video somewhere?

It makes sense. The project did sort of grow out of Urbit, but there are fundamental differences in my mind that are less salient to people who haven't gone deep on Urbit and Pallas - this is very understandable. There are only maybe a few dozen people on Earth who could articulate the nitty-gritty differences between Urbit and Pallas, even though they seem huge to me lol

The technical docs are the best writeup we have: https://docs.opfn.co

but there's also this (sort of old now) comparison of Urbit and our project (which at the time we were referring to as "Plunder"): https://blog.vaporware.network/2024/06/04/plunder-explained-for-urbit-users.html

All that said, if you ever wanted to talk shop in realtime, myself and my cofounders would love to shoot the future-of-the-internet-and-computing shit with you sometime. shoot me a DM if you want to schedule something!
