> I know HN and dang aren't going to change, they're conservative let's say

I'm not quite sure what people "are", but that there is some sort of a fundamental (and I think unrealized problem) seems unmistakable to me. And I agree that they can't change on their own, but I don't believe that change cannot be coerced - at least, it is highly speculative.

I am very interested, as I have been working on the same thing (but only conceptually so far), I will send you an email.
