Great post - agree with John above about the class of CS people. For starters they obviously don't read my blogwhere I bleat about Engelbart, and Vannevar Bush on a semi-regular basis :)

If none of the CS people he talked to haven’t googled Engelbart then he must be dealing with a pretty poor class of CS people.

The Albert / Pepsi / Coke stuff can be found at http://piumarta.com/pepsi/. In particular, the http://piumarta.com/pepsi/objmodel.pdf explains the basic object model. Other papers from Ian Piumarta that describe the techniques can be found at http://piumarta.com/papers/. Albert (the new, non copyright infringing name for Pepsi / Coke) is http://piumarta.com/papers/albert.pdf . It describes the bootstrapping techniques going from the basic object model in objmodel.pdf to the full metacircular implementation in Pepsi & Coke (i.e., Albert).

When will Piumarta’s code be released (or has it?) I was definitely entertained at the OOPSLA presentation and I’d like to use it for embedded systems work–seems a great platform.

‘Albert’ could be the Pepsi stuff Ian Piumarta is working on
