The JavaScript-based Comunica SPARQL query engine is designed for querying over decentralized environments, e.g. through federation and link traversal. In addition, it makes use of a modular archit...

If there's one person who can talk about the struggles towards freedom and decentralization, then it's definitely @RealRossU.
Ten years ago to the day, I was sentenced to die in prison. Instead I gave my first public speech in freedom. I wore a red tie as an homage to @realDonaldTrump, the man who saved my life.

Hi @BrendanEich 👋, I teach a Web Development course at Ghent University 🇧🇪, for which I prepared a new lecture on Web Scripting (with a large focus on JavaScript). I'd love to hear if you have any feedback:

Should fundamental research be privatized? Some good arguments are raised here by @skdh (central planning, detached from reality...). It would definitely have a big impact on my own job.
