Interesting stuff. Congrats on the release. I'm a bit stuck post install as I'm not finding the Hello World but only seeing the local World. It appears that (@WALT Walt Disney) sets the atom in the local world (AFAIK) but (@WALT) doesn't return `Walt Disney` when it's submitted to the Local Mimix. Is that the flow? Set and then Get? mxCommunicator comes back false when I look in the devtools. Is there a first time / tire kicker guide or short example video? Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks for checking it out and the feedback. Only Local World exists (the HTML page is the "world") but you can easily mod it to use others. The MSL engine is not present in this release and the WebSocket only provides an echo service. So you are right that (@WALT) should return (@WALT Walt Disney) and we will show that in the UI soon. (The backend that makes that happen is almost done.)
I also just came across it and had the same issue. I haven't decided to whether to get invested in it enough yet to submit a github issue.
Thanks for looking and trying it. When the Hybrid Database that stores MSL ships, we will include the source for it, as well. The next release will let you play with real MSL running against a local Hybrid Database.
