Laws are full of holes and contradictions. For example, megacorps evade tax. We want them to pay the tax. See, the _intent_ is for them to pay, but the _execution_ of the intent fails. If you take the current laws as the basis and want to improve upon them, how do you improve? What counts as improvement? "Megacorps must pay tax too" is a clear intent/goal. It captures the requirement. If you read the laws, can you deduce this requirement? Can you improve upon them without the requirement?

Are there qwen or minimax or other open weight models of same hardware requirements that outperform this?

I am currently a core maintainer of Electric Clojure (https://github.com/hyperfiddle/electric), a full-stack, reactive, differential language we use for building rich, dynamic UIs. Most notably I developed the last 2 generations of our compiler and pioneered the UI composition pattern we use today. I work with Clojure for 7+ years, but also did a lot (4y+) of infrastructure work before - Docker, Kubernetes, ELK stack, Kibana and more. I worked in many other languages. I am a systems-level thinker who derives solutions from first principles. I am looking for a new challenge.

If the problem fits into the limited local resources, if there's no syncing required, no login, no multiplayer, ... Sure, do it. But don't pretend this solves all business cases.

Instead of doing the side effect you return a description and let the framework handle it. E.g. you don't call `transact(db, data)` but return `["transact", db, data]`. Now your function is pure. The framework will expect you to provide the transact handler, e.g. as `register_handler("transact", (db, data) => {..})`.
Personally I'm not a fan of this abstraction (another layer of indirection). I'd rather take a `transact` function as an argument.

The only way for the client to set a server-side symbol to a value is to explicitly request it in code
(e/server (let [is-admin? (e/client ...)]))

I think SBCL starts up fast enough as-is, no? If you want a batteries included version with libraries, just load them and save a new base image with SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE

So it's OK to let them spy since we get spied on from other sources anyway.

libmill's goal was to be as close to Go as possible. If you look at it in that light, it's an accomplishment.
Then came libdill, which created the whole "structured concurrency" movement and brought new concepts to light that are now being replicated in python, kotlin, java...

I'll wait for the 1-line APL/J/K implementation in the comments.
