My name is Ash; my nom de guerre is asnaroo; and I’m starting a new kind of computer company to make a new kind of computer. The computer I’ve been doodling in the back pages of my exercise books since I was ten years old.
And I’m going to do it in Palo Alto, London, Bangalore, and Tokyo. Because : why not?
Follow along here for my adventures as they happen, as well as the journey that brought me to this point.
There’s a sequence, by the way, so if you find yourself mystified, start at the very beginning, as it is, as the song goes, the very best place to start.
If you’re interested in the programming language I’m designing, read these:
the birth of zero : how I came to design a programming language
feature modularity : what ended up becoming the “big idea”
the stupid economy : why monolithic software is fucking the world
the end of the world as we know it : how zero might change the world
If you’re interested in the operating system / computer I’m building, read these:
we can be heroes : in which I realise a programming language isn’t enough
the heart of gold : an early set of ideas about what a new computer could be
if I could turn back time : ruminations on time travel and telepresence
And if you’re interested in drones picking up plastic waste from the environment (the first driver project for the platform), check out
matter out of place : where a project rises up and smacks me in the face
