@jamespearce Example of this: I wanted a solidjs integration for tinybase. codex built it; I learned nothing. Is it contributable? I have no idea. seems to work for me. might break for you. as a consequence I neither connected with your work or the project's community.

Are there any examples yet of programming languages evolving such that they can be more easily written by computers than by humans?

@truechatdata @tinybasejs Currently not incremental - they are stored and synced as strings - so super deep or big will have implications.

@tinybasejs That is going to unlock a lot of use cases. Curious what the storage and diff story looks like for nested structures, especially if you want deterministic merges and partial updates.

@boztank I once had a Friday Q&A question lined up about how Facebook would react to being nationalized during a world war. It was 2017 and it never got answered - but now I guess I know!
