I wanted to created a fully distributed operating system that would given programmers and systems engineers the ability to think of remote resources in the same way as they think about local resources. I see a fundamental schism that lies at the heart of computing... we have our sophisticated algorithms on the one hand, which are typically kept within the confines of our native operating systems, and we have our content streams on the other, which are kept within the confines of our web browsers. By putting these two paradigms together, we can be truly systematic about the unlimited content that exists on the web.
