Mu: A Human-Scale Computer

See also uxn, uxntal, and varvara, which I feel have similar design goals. I love this movement. I miss personal computing. https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/uxn.html https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/uxntal.html https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/varvara.html

Things I really liked: + recording runs as tests + one library for all layers of abstraction + building in assembler to avoid the big runtime. + using literate programming techniques to manage coding in assembly. + scenario, "screen-should-contain" and "assume-keyboard". awesome. + spaces: nice primitive of the closure and similar concepts + attributes for meta programs. again, awesome. + labels and using [,] as labels. genius. Suggestions: * If there's a valid reason to call them recipes, go ahead…

This (HN news/Github project) title is awkward. Apparently, it's all about a new Operating System. However, I don't read much about kernels or shells but instead about assembler and particular features (?) such as "Track side effects in assembly language". Somehow the project lacks a short README or Abstract or list of goals. It's hard to get an overview without spending much time studying.
