-With apologies to <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu_%28negative%29#In_popular_culture'>Robert Pirsig</a>:
-<p>
-<div style='font-style: italic; margin-left:2em'>
-Is it a language, or an operating system, or a virtual machine?
-<p>
-Mu.

-<b><a href='http://akkartik.name/about'>Problem statement.</a></b>

-<b><a href='https://github.com/akkartik/mu'>Solution.</a></b>

-<p>For an earlier prototype, a high-level statement-oriented language with a
-tree-walking interpreter, see <a href='http://akkartik.github.io/mu1'>mu1</a>.

-The zen of Mu:
-<ul>
-<li>traces, not interfaces
-<li>be rewrite-friendly, not backwards-compatible
-<li>be easy to port rather than portable
-<li>global structure matters more than local hygiene
-</ul>
-
-<p>
-Mu's vision of utopia:
-<ul>
-<li>Run your devices in 1/1000th the code.
-<li>1000x more forks for open source projects.
-<li>Make simple changes to any project in an afternoon, no matter how large it is.
-<li>Projects don't slow down with age, they continue to evolve just as fast as
-when they were first started.
-<li>All software rewards curiosity, allowing anyone to query its design
-decisions, gradually learn how to tweak it, try out increasingly radical
-redesign ideas in a sandbox. People learn programming as an imperceptible side
-effect of tinkering with the projects they care about.
-<li><a href='http://akkartik.name/post/habitability'>Habitable</a> digital environments.
-<li>A <em>literate</em> digital society with widespread skills for
-comprehending large-scale software structure and comparing-and-contrasting
-similar solutions. (I don't think anybody is literate by this definition
-today. All we can do easily is read our own programs that we wrote recently.)
-</ul>
