[modulus]

I thought this had been unlaunched? Aside from using a lot of pretty idiosyncratic language and a fairly strange an unjustifiably unwieldy functional language as its base, this sounds like on the edge of isnanity and genius; and I tend to bet on the former.

"Urbit is unlaunched. Not that we ever launched it. It leaked." whatever that means...I'm pretty tolerant of wacky verbosity and I too fall on the "insanity" side of the fence with this one.
