-I hate to choose between good things. Figuring out a way to combine

-*** Computation
-+ Lisp (programming language):
- + Almost no syntax.
- + Code and data intercangeable.
- + Easily self modifying.
- + (The big Lisp idea: https://dev.to/ericnormand/the-idea-of-lisp )
-
-+ Smalltalk (programming language / runtime):
- + Everything is object.
- + On the fly modifiable / reprogrammable.
- + Anything can be suspended/resumed from persistent storage on the
- fly.
- + [[http://esug.org/data/ESUG2015/3%20wednesday/1100-1130%20SQL%20Queries%20on%20Smalltalk%20Objects/SQL%20Queries%20in%20Smalltalk%20(James%20Foster).pdf][GemStone/S]]: Awesome feature list!
-
-+ Hadoop (computation system):
- + Many individual connected computers behave as one big
- computer. System is horizontally linearly scalable.
- + Programming abstraction and execution model that naturally divides
- problems te be solved in parallel and result easily combined.
- + Data is spread across nodes, automatic failover, built in
- resiliency.
- + Small pieces of code are automatically transferred to the node
- that contains relatively big data that needs processing (network
- efficiency).

* Current status
+ Formulated high-level [[id:1f4e1c17-d25f-4d92-aa9b-5785f1d86f4f][vision / goal]].
+ System is nowhere near complete (given magnitude of effort required
and my free time available). Contributions welcome ! :)
