See even this triggers my bullshitometer

What does this response even mean? How can a language be coupled to PKI? Does the language implement it, or is it predicated on some implementation? How can that even "live on" ethereum in the first place?

What kind of fucked up problem statement results in this jargon bingo card being applicable?

Not sure what nootropicat is on about.

The language itself is not coupled to the PKI. The PKI ("azimuth") is implemented as a contract on Ethereum. The OS ("arvo"), implemented in the language ("hoon"), has a networking module that respects the PKI, but also affords for (practically) infinite not-PKI-registered identities.
