This is very interesting and important. I downloaded Cobalt and am
playing with it.

A few weeks ago I wrote: Open Croquet integrates some of the best
software engineering concepts and techniques, and "deserves" success.
It is currently limited by its lack of accessibility—there is no such
a thing as an easy access general purpose OC browser for OC
metaverses.

Well, now there IS an easy access general purpose OC browser for OC
metaverses. Cobalt is in a very early stage (pre-alpha as they say
above) and looks primitive, but so did Mosaic. I understand that
Cobalt is a browser: a tool that can be used to access a world wide
web of linked Open Croquet metaverses built by users. This (Mosaic in
the early 90s) is what started the explosive growth of the Internet in
the early 90s, and it could now start an explosive growth of the
metaverse in the late 00s. And everyone can be involved in the
development of the world wide metaverse built on open source
technologies.

Great work and I look fwd to learning more.
