Good replies (incl. amino). Here's where I'm coming from: a) I'm looking for the functionality that hook.io seems to have, an 'event bus' (as mentioned here<http://itc.conversationsnetwork.org/shows/detail5307.html#>) and as described in the nicely illustrated "Hook.io for Dummies"<http://ejeklint.github.com/2011/09/23/hook.io-for-dummies-part-1-overview/>. The whole 'self-healing' mesh idea suits my purposes and reminds me of some AI work I did last year where something vaguely similar was implemented in Java (I provided algorithms, someone else wrote the Java) using the OSGI framework; b) For the past decade I have programmed in Matlab almost exclusively (occasional C functions to speed up matlab). I've decided that javascript/node.js will be my next languages and currently have 4 months experience teaching myself. The learning curve has been pretty steep. Browsers, servers, synchronous/asynchronous, collaboration software, IDE's, etc. are a far cry from the very insular environment of matlab programming; and c) I've looked at the suggested alternatives to hook.io and cannot tell whether they can provide the functionality I want (see a) ). I am happy to fork hook.io. The mechanics of doing it are actually straightforward. The challenge: I'm hardly qualified to progress the work at this point in time, though I'm happy to collaborate to the extent I can with anyone.
So: where do I go from here? Any constructive advice would be appreciated.
