After using Hoon for a while, I really don't understand why anyone would use this programming language. The syntax is hard to understand, and the execution efficiency is extremely low. So the question is, what exactly are the people who created this language trying to achieve?

The Urwasm project by @dozreg_toplud just reached a major milestone. Code in mainstream programming languages now runs on Urbit, at high speeds.

How does it work, and what does it mean for the future of Urbit development? A thread 🧵

Users of Tlon, here's an easter egg feature we're toying with. Enter :profile [%action %bind ~] in the dojo (aka terminal) on your ship to expose a public facing profile. Drop it in your twitter bio. Tell me what more you might want out of it.

Maybe we'll give you a hat.

Urbit OS 411k4 hotfix corrects an issue with EAuth, part of the authentication system. Thank you, core dev team!

If you haven't checked out the USTJ Forum yet, your initial login should be snappier now in many cases.
