The cheapest computer is the one you already have--

Hmm, so what about a virtual machine that runs on smartphones, old desktops collecting dust, old laptops...?

Trying to think now: what would be necessary for such a virtual machine?

@vidak Great line of inquiry there. I find the Uxn/Varvara ecosystem to be very inspiring.

@vidak You know my answer 😄

@vidak I've written a few thoughts about the design and specification of what is necessary for a virtual machine to host the sort of projects that I like to do:

Maybe that can give you some ideas for a vm of your own 🌻

@vidak Dunno if its capabilities meet your needs, but uxn does seem to run on just about everything.

@lykso yes, I am definitely considering uxn, uxntal makes a lot of sense to me. I am having a look at writing a BASIC interpreter for it. Not yet fully finished my investigation, but it is on the to-do list.
