I like the goal but find it weird that getting back to the great usability of a system over 30 years old now requires a cloud service and round trips to a server. Why can’t I buy a boot ROM for a PC that drops me to a python prompt after a sub-1-second boot up?


I mean, you can. The reason things are hard is because of external libraries (dependencies) that you might dynamically download and start using. If you don't have that restriction, things get vastly simpler.


That should exist too. Right now doing it in the cloud allows instant sharing and hosting but I hope we can get to a point where we can build something like what you suggest.
