[-empyre-] Lambda Moo

[blakkbyrd <blakkbyrd@yahoo.com.au>]

dear list

back in the early nineties I spent a year in Lambda Moo, that was  
before chat rooms, before browsers, when participants had to use  
unix, and everything was command lines and text.

There was a lot of discussion about lambda's future and the  
inevitable addition of images.  It has come to pass and with it has  
come a dumbing down of the participants as the interface becomes  
easier to use.

In Lamda, to build, you had to use an object orientated programming  
language.

What I'm seeing now is a new generation of theorists trying to re- 
invent the wheel.  In forming a theory of second life, surely one has  
to at least acknowledge Lambda's role and the considerable amount of  
papers it inspired?

I havent done much in SL, its  too much like "been there, done that"  
for me, but I have complied a collection of posts on SL in connection  
with my own research.
