Hmmm, I don't remember mentioning 'immoral' in my post. As for the decision on ethics and literally everything, I have literally been waiting for people all year to 'be ready' to work on this. But I am now tired of waiting and decided to just out with it. I believe things will work out well eventually.

The point is not so much about immortality or all-powerful beings as it is about giving humanity another kind of existence we have not had before, but which appear very plausible to me. So we take all the best things we have discovered/learned from our lives and try to redesign human life the best way we know.

If anything is worth doing, this is worth doing also.

I took a unique angle to building a frontend JavaScript framework and I have been pursuing this project for more than half the year now. Like many others before me I was not satisfied with the existing solutions, mostly the shackles to free use of pure JavaScript. My solution has been to create http://github.com/mksunny1/deleight.

Now I am a bit afraid I might have just added a bit too much flexibility in the latest version with the `process` module which truly lets users create and modify 'function-like' objects like regular objects (arrays).

The feature came naturally from trying to solve the problem of creating reactive functions. This really entails building up functions incrementally. Now once I pursued the solution in the logical direction, we have this dangerous thing that is generally considered bad for maintainability.

My goal has always been more simplicity, expressiveness and clarity, which is why I wanted to put everything in the hands of the end user. It is a dilemma.
