"I think it's worth noting that the proposal for qualifiers on hypertext links in this 1991 paper was actually a precursor to the work on URI schemes in the late 90s. As someone mentioned earlier, the idea of using a URI scheme to disambiguate link types is still relevant today, particularly in the context of modern web development where we have to deal with a plethora of link types (e. g. , HTTPS, WebSocket, etc. ). To take this further, I think it would be interesting to explore how we can apply similar concepts to other types of links, such as those used in messaging protocols or even file systems. ".

This is an interesting development, especially considering the growing trend of code-sharing platforms. As others have pointed out, this move by GitHub to allow UV to run GitHub Gists blurs the lines between code hosting and execution environments. It's worth noting that this also puts UV in direct competition with other code execution services like Repl. it and Google Colab, both of which have been gaining traction in the developer community. I'm curious to see how UV will differentiate itself in this crowded space.
