Really nice ideas here. The crucial advantage is having the storage+computation run as close as possible, which is a big advantage over a regular DB+app backend.
But I won't ever consider investing in it unless it's some form of open-source. It's too much of a risk to have a closed-source core.

Hadn't seen that, thanks, I've updated the post to include it.

Anyone has tried a steno keyboard with a modal editor (eg vim)? I'm wondering if it makes typing faster for that particular use-case.

`dharma` is the term we buddhists use to designate the (sacred) teachings of Buddha. Would you use `Coran` or `Bible` to name your project? Probably not.
It would have been a good idea to take more time to reflect on your choice of name.

The other big advantage is `more user-friendly`. Thus no backward compatibility. No doubt some people are used to the old patterns, but lots of people also prefer saner defaults.

Leaving private companies in charge of healthcare is pure madness. Most of the developed countries have realized this. (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_health_coverage_by_c...)
The reason is that healthcare is somewhere you don't want the profits to be the main goal. The goal is to make sure everyone is taken care of, at the best cost for the society. Did you know the US is the country that spends most on healthcare, and still doesn't have universal coverage? (http://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/020915/what-country-...)
Therefore, public pricing is not the optimal solution. Public heath system is.
