( when you see format which makes memory corruption bugs ~inevitable, invites support for 'null ciphers', etc. you can moar or less smell it ) |

at the very least, can see own key and verify with own eyes what exactly is going on with it |

asciilifeform: I see what you mean. The creation of a Forth-like language was meant to reduce the need for file-formats in general. |

So the bottleneck of the realization of Loper OS lies in having an FPGA of reasonable density which is also completely transparent in its design. |

We need the "bag of LUTs" which was mentioned years ago. |
