If it were a complex application it wouldn't be very forthy would it? Factor the problem instead of trying to factor a preconceived solution.

> 2. What is “sourceless programming”? Where is a good place to learn more about it?

Sourceless programming was used in Okad a vlsi design tool written by Chuck Moore.

Brad Nelson also experimented with sourceless forth:

Although there have been some widespread and fairly comprehensive implementations of anarchism, namely the Makhnovists in the Ukraine and the Spanish Revolution in Catalonia, Aragon, Andalusia, and some parts of the Valencian Community, anarchism is more of a political tension "from where you are standing right now" than an attempt to conquer a territory to establish anarchism. That should follow from the name itself.

The Situationist movement had some enduring effect on French culture from the first-person perspective. (Situationism is not anarchist, but it is libertarian and communist). The Spanish revolution less so, because it was followed by General Franco's rule.

I thought this article/transcript was of interest to hackernews in a large part due to one of the two authors being the author of the Open Whisper Systems Signal SMS app.

It may be easier to have everyone use the same software and hardware platform everywhere. After all we do want interoperability and we do want everyone to play well with others, but, standardization and portability is a push to stop people from trying new things. The push to standardize everything is an unfortunate consequence of not having a separation of concerns, separate concerns such as content and UI.

The current state of software development has huge issues with needless complexity resulting from poorly chosen abstractions.

Gopher and IRC make it possible to use any client of your choosing, thus keeping innovation and improvements accessible to anyone with an idea.

The web has effectively killed innovation in operating systems. A clean and consistent system will be out of reach as long as this web app nonsense continues.

"Chuck Moore, the inventor of Forth and ColorForth programming languages, gives a presentation on writing "1x software," or how to avoid common sources of bloat in software. Topics covered include: what it means to be Forth (as distinct from other languages), how ColorForth is simpler still than Forth, how common system services such as files, windows, and even local variables, complexify (complect) the software, the impact of bloat, maintenance on that bloat, etc. And, as is usual for Chuck, deeply philosophical thoughts as well."

...and consequently limited driver support. Copyleft is permissive. There's no need for non-copyleft licensing unless you want restrictive proprietary licensing somewhere or sometime.
