Watching some of the vids coming out of this year's Perl and Raku Conference. Ingy döt Net's talk on his work on Lingy and YAMLScript was pretty amazing.
Lingy is a #clojure hosted on #perl - Perl code can call Lingy code can call Perl code. The idea of having a Lingy VM with JIT is very appealing.
YAMLScript is a YAML-style dialect of Lingy (or any Clojure implementation), for those who don't like LISP style.

@mjgardner I like the image you evoke of the entire online and software economy physically collapsing, a small but determined team taking shelter within, planting a seed for the future so that we do not repeat the mistakes of the past (Looking at you, SOAP!)
@fuzzix I have bad news for you: #SOAP came out of that same era. It was an over-engineered adaptation by #Microsoft and @w3c of @davew’s #XMLRPC
Mind you, the entire #XML-based #WebServices stack of standards is being re-accreted on top of #JSON with efforts like #OpenAPI and JSON Schema. The final and once-again neglected piece is automated service discovery à la #UDDI
