Looks like a fun project! Lots of pragmatic implementation choices to keep things simple.

I'd be very interested to see what the author comes up as a substitute for RealTalk.

Thank you! Keeping things simple, even naive, has made it easy to tear it down and start over, which I've done a few times now.

As for RealTalk, the author is also interested to see what she comes up with! In the past week I've been playing with the notion of "claims" and "wishes", inspired by a description of RealTalk by Tabitha Yong, seen in this fantastic post by Omar Rizwan: https://rsnous.com/posts/notes-from-dynamicland-geokit/

The "Programming with Spaces" project has also been a very helpful reference, especially this guideline for implementing a Linda-like tuplespace: https://github.com/pSpaces/Programming-with-Spaces/blob/mast...

You might also want to look at natural language datalog (https://github.com/harc/nl-datalog), which is a prototype of the query language used in Dynamicland.

Very interesting. I'm curious what you'll come up with. The description also reminds me of Eve [1][2], which is itself based on Bloom [3][4].
