I'm writing an experimental PL and I want to exercise it on real programs asap. These need to be useful (so I actually try them), but simple (my PL is unfinished).
My current ideas:
* A git fuzzy branch switcher (shell commands)
* dotfiles sync (filesystem access)
Suggestions?
Hosting a Docker registry on IPFS! The global P2P content-addressable filesystem seems like a good fit for Docker images.
OpenBSD adds unveil(), a new syscall for restricting filesystem access. Like pledge(), it aims to maximise adoption through having a limited (but very comprehensible) API.
