> it's people trying to add a motor to a bicycle so that they don't have to pedal instead of just getting a motorcycle.

The journey of building the motor and welding it onto the bicycle, or disassembling and reassembling the bicycle according to your own taste while retaining all the functionality is the entire point. Trying to get people to use it is merely an egomaniacal endeavor of computer posturing and self-aggrandizement best performed by Silicon Valley CEOs.

>I don't know if I am impressed that they managed to do this or horrified that they missed the entire point of TempleOS in order to shit on Terry's corpse

The thing is, why do you care? You're not going to use TempleOS anyway (you've only poked around, according to you, so I assume you've never done serious development in it or explored it), this is just ideological concern trolling for an overly memed software platform made by a man whose opinions are venerated for the sole reason of being paranoid of the government and being fond of slurs who did not write any substantial code after 2013 (or even earlier). People who "praise" TempleOS (ie, regurgitating superficial technological aspects from the Charter (that aren't heavily reflected in the OS anyway), heartwarming compliments and small excerpts of his streams that have been repeated on the internet ad nauseam) and say that they've "haven't done much with it, have just poked around a little, and love weird shit like that" in the same post never fail to confuse and amaze me. Maybe you can probe with an endoscope next time.

I get that you're trying to feign some sort of respect as to look like a respectable oldbie from ye olden golden days that never really existed, but while Alec has been able to create a working and federating backend with a networking stack written in Jakt and everything needed for a web backend, Revolver, albeit a project of a bigger scale and which hopefully doesn't do things like dumping all the federated objects in one folder and praying the instance doesn't grow big enough for the folder to explode, that doesn't involve reimplementing the network stack or net/http (i heard the kv store is from scratch), has been in development for years and has only so far been able to serve media and display a public timeline (tell me if there's more), even considering lucre. Instead you decided to disregard the entire project for having a Discord server and relying on an experimental language (less experimental than HolyC) that happens to transpile to C++ (god forbid a new language bootstraps!).

> if it were a little easier to get a listing of a TempleOS program and post it somewhere, would you see people showing people their TempleOS programs and talking about them?

There is, and it requires placing the bicycle on top of a flywheel attached to a motor, which Terry did all the time. You see him using the VMWare GUI to mount the partition and pull and push files all the time in his videos. Not only that but you can also export folders as ISOs and share them - HolyC is not apljk and it's not possible to just paste entire projects as text especially when considering DolDoc, which is binary data. It's just that nobody cares about developing on TempleOS. Also, it's not like awk scripts or small fragments of shell scripts do much more than automating some handwork. You could've used Iversonian languages as a much better example, as those languages were designed to be able to express entire algorithms as a scribble on a chalkboard.

I am full of bullshit and you should not read what I have written. Having read it, you should ignore it. You don't have to listen to this shit from some rando on the internet.
