Interesting. I consider myself an average developer who picked up Urbit to play with in 2017 (when it was still very rough). I've been happily using it almost everyday for a couple of years now. I mean, it's just a peer-to-peer network built from first principles. That's really kind of it. I guess I don't really deep dive into the inner workings of its address space, OS, or functional programming language, but for an end user like me it works pretty great for distributed communication. I'm not trying to sell anyone on it by any means, but some of the most interesting things I've read have been in Urbit groups.
