Rationale for 'everything is a url'
Created by: nspaeth
Hi,
Looking through the available documentation, I see the "Everything is a URL" page which discusses shortcomings of 'everything is a file', but I wonder what other alternatives were considered? Is there somewhere I can read about the various alternatives?
For example, why not: "Everything's an Object" as seen in Smalltalk/squeak, which might make resources more discoverable and allow compile-time checking, or "Everything is a Stream/(or signal now?)", (which might count as objects?) as seen in CycleJS?
Thanks
