I was interviewed on screwtape 2025-11-04 about Gopher, Haskell, Category Theory

⚠️ This post is archived from my phlog in Gopherspace. Please read my post on the Gopher Protocol to get started!

I was interviewed again on Screwtape (an AnonrRadio program powered by SDF):

Some topics covered:

Writing gopher apps easily with Venusia, porting software to Gopher
My Gopherspace RPG
Haskell and Lisp programming languages
How the people watching the show comment via a MUD (think: adventure game), which also has a built-in Gopher browser!
Sentimental tech: tech as craft, art, intimacy with systems, and my upcoming manifesto/treatise/article, “we need to make tech into something warmer than just bits.”
Gopher, FTP history
The logic of Gopher
I talked about Category Theory (I’m no expert) and… MONADS.
