Author of scrapscript here. We probably won't be production-ready for a while :) but let me know if there are any particular APIs or use-cases I should prioritize

I want a distributed computing pseudo content addressed speadsheet where each cell is a process, thread, function, server, program, user, avatar or API.
I can type "=" for inserting a formula into a cell like Excel then type a repl.it template and bring up a server, or a template environment with everything preconfigured.
I want to depend on other people's solutions to problems. We are all independently running agents.
Perhaps it could be a chat room similar to a MUD where each person runs servers and runs programs that depend on eachother. A mesh of computation and storage.
Perhaps there should be some central hub which tracks the state of different services and workflows, similar to Temporal.io.
In 2013 I wrote this: https://github.com/samsquire/ideas#80-playhouse-repeatable-p... about what can now be described as similar to repl.it
I also wrote about conversational development at https://github.com/samsquire/ideas2#35-conversational-develo...
What I want is some way of collecting payments easily, so that my code can be montetized. Don't pay anything until you make money.
That is very similar to a few things I'm already planning to build, but I'll need to process some of the incredible ideas you've got here.
I might send you an email later this month with some questions :)
I've been reading your blog (https://taylor.town/) and I think ScrapScript is awesome.
Let's engage early and often. (I am looking forward to your email.)
I hope we can build and inspire people to create some futuristic software.
There's Conflict-free replicated data types, content addressable, Val Town, Nostr, scuttlebut, distributed computing, Node Package Manager, merkle trees, Rubygems, Git, ActivityPub, decentralized software, NixOS, repl.it, unison to draw inspiration from.
