Content warning: spritely vs plan9
comparing goblins to plan9's distributed programming, the main advancement seems to be garbage-collected datastructures.
this doesn't really do a lot to address what i think is plan9's actual biggest flaw, which is how you have to set up all the namespaces and such. if you want to make a change to your namespace in a reproducible way, usually you end up editing your boot script and rebooting.
all the messing about with creating vats reminds me a lot of the plan9 init dance.
Content warning: spritely
just got around to checking out spritely goblins and to be honest...
it really doesn't seem to do much of anything right now.
sure, you have tranactions, but that doesn't seem to be strictly enforced, and such doesn't seem to be majorly useful over just writing code in a functional style.

Content warning: package managers
what's up with me having to manually decide how often to refresh the package index in so many package managers?
emacs gives me error messages until i run package-refresh-contents, xbps has me pass -S.
all of these give weird "not found" errors if you don't refresh the index enough, with no indication of what you need to do.
