You got it. I think we can make some functional and other programming constructs available to the end user of the website (such as currying a function by filling in only part of a form), and develop a system where end users (say, those sophisticated enough to construct simple spreadsheets) to construct their own web applications around structured data sources, including integrating them with each other and with other kinds of web sources and structured knowledge sources. There are some other pieces, but this is the grand vision. Trying to do something a little different. I think Jordan has the solution. I'm hoping to start showing y'all what I'm up to within a few months.
