What Urbit is
This is the first time I&#x27;ve heard of this, there just seems to be a bunch of holes in it. OK, so you have a basic embedded-style ROM vm with a light layer of application code above it. Hard, solvable problem that they seem to have covered.<p>If it is supposed to be for the people how am I supposed to find a route between hosts behind a NAT? Is this galaxy.urbit.org the DNS <i>and</i> the TURN relay? Is the expectation of the &#x27;server cluster that is yours alone&#x27; still dependent on someone else running the relay? How can my servers have friends that aren&#x27;t part of my trust network? How do I run my own trust network between people I want to trust?<p>The weirdest thing is that there doesn&#x27;t seem to be a designed way for an operator of an Urbit to talk to their&#x2F;other Urbits. Where&#x27;s the classic plain text protocol to at least say HELO? How do I fix it?<p>This just ends up looking like a specific-use estoeric lang + runtime to me, which I do enjoy as an exercise. I just can&#x27;t see how the UX problem is going to pan out based on what is presented.
