How much are you planning to opensource?

I realize you have a thriving commercial software company and that's cool. But...wow. This is exactly the sort of thing Alan Kay's team has been working on for the past five years, and you guys seem to be beating them to it, with a completely different approach. It would be pretty amazing to be able to dig into it, find out how the whole system works, and contribute.

I'm not actually employed by kx, so I can't say for certain.

I don't think Arthur's opposed to open sourcing bits though.

Would it run under Kona? [1]

No. A lot of the verbs have changed in k.
so would it work if Kona changed?
Kona is K3. K5, the subject of the article, is being invented now. I'm quite certain there is no plan to make Kona K5 compatible.
