I like the actor model idea and prefer it where possible. It’s also why I’m
an Erlang fan even though I don’t use the language for anything. It would
probably be easier for me since I’ve been using functional programming
patterns for a while now, so Ruby-style OOP throws me off a lot.

Hi Sam,
FWIW, I don't have much time to work on Whimsy at the moment but I'm
interested in keeping track of what's going on and help with the
design whenever that makes sense. Especially around helping make the
Board's work more asynchronous.
If I end up writing some code, I'm more familiar with
I am going to have to push Whimsy down to third priority for the next
couple of weeks, behind an urgent bug and preparing for the May board
meeting.
However, some of my prior experience may be useful in thinking about
this. My last job was working on design of multiprocessors - I was

TL;DR: it would be feasible to port the entire Whimsy code base over to
Node.js, get it up an running on whimsy-vm6 hosted on Ubuntu 20.04
(Focal Fossa). There would be a number of advantages to doing so.
The difference wouldn't merely be one of language syntax. The result
would likely be cl
