Interesting vision by SPJ and sweeney. Will the metaverse be powered by a functional logic programming language? Pretty bold.

Tim sweeney got me into programming via ZZT, and SPJ made me fell in love with functional programming via Haskell. now they are both working on a language for virtual worlds… as someone who had worked on my own metaverse protocol and as a huge fanboy of both of these guys… i am very intrigued.

There was a say: God programmed the universe in Lisp.

I love Lisp a lot, also learnt Haskell and many other functional languages.

The problem is that the normie programmer will never use those because their mind cannot get around functional programming, which is a shame.

Unison Lang is prob the most interesting functional project for me right now https://www.unison-lang.org/

yeah combinding verse calculus with a content addressable merkle tree is something I immediately thought about

Really enjoyed Tim Sweeney on Lex recently, so much nostalgic goodness around game dev in the nineties coupled with the future looking stuff. Will listen again, got me to open my code editor for the first time in a while.

Was a great listen. Hearing Sweeney talk about Verse was very interesting (even as a nondev) 💜
