So the next big thing will be some version of minecraft? Or perhaps the older toontalk? Agentcubes? What is the right 3D metaphor? Does anyone have a comfortable metaphor? It would seem like if there was an open, federated MMO system that supported object lifecycles, we would have something. Do we have an "object web" yet, or are we stuck with text forever, with all the nasty security vunerabilities involved? Yes I agree that we lost something when we moved to the web. Perhaps we need to step away from the document model purely for security reasons. What's the alternative? Scratch and Alice? Storing/transmitting ASTs? Does our reliance on https/ssl/tls which is based on streams limit us? When are we going to stop making streams secure and start making secure network objects? Object-capability security anyone? Are we stuck with documents because they are the best thing for debugging?
