Some parts of its novely actually give me sort of a TempleOS feel, I suppose because it feels/looks so "different". I really loved watching the Senseye video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=294&v=WBsv9IJpkD...), though it's something that I suppose could be made in other environments as well. The translators reminded me of edlib by Neil Brown: http://blog.neil.brown.name/2015/07/edlib-because-one-more-e... (http://blog.neil.brown.name/), there's a cool video of edlib somewhere as well. Although the concept of separate views on the same underlying data is not novel, it's a shame such things aren't widely available (or in use) that I know of.
Despite being a fan of statically typed languages, of all scripting languages I like Lua the best. The language is lean but powerful and LuaJIT is a coders' dream. I don't understand whether one would be forced to create all "apps" (appls?) in Lua.
