## Goblins (Distributed Object Programming)

From `goblins.info`:

```
Goblins is a distributed object programming environment featuring:

• Quasi-functional object system: objects are procedures that
  "become" new versions when handling invocations

• Fully distributed, networked, secure p2p communication via
  OCapN (Object Capability Network) and CapTP

• Transactional updates: changes happen within transactions;
  unhandled exceptions cause rollback

• Time travel: snapshot old revisions and interact with them

• Asynchronous programming with sophisticated promise chaining
```

### Vat Model

```
(peer (vat (actormap {refr: object-behavior})))

• Peers: CapTP endpoints on network (OS processes)
• Vats: Communicating event loops
• Actormaps: Transactional heaps
• References → Object Behavior mappings
```

### Key Operators
```scheme
($  obj method args...)   ; Synchronous (near objects only)
(<- obj method args...)   ; Asynchronous (near or far)
```

---

## Guile Hoot (Scheme → WebAssembly)

From `hoot.info`:

```
Guile Hoot compiles Scheme to WebAssembly, enabling:

• Run Scheme in browsers and Wasm runtimes
• Full Scheme semantics (tail calls, continuations)
• Integration with JavaScript
• Standalone Wasm modules
```

## Gay.jl Integration

Each tool receives deterministic colors based on seed and index:

```julia
using Gay

# Color the effective-topos packages
packages = [
    # Trit 0: Lisp/Scheme
    "guile", "racket-minimal", "emacs-nox", "guile-goblins", "guile-hoot",
    # Trit 1: ML/Functional  
    "ghc", "cabal-install", "ocaml", "opam", "agda",
    # Trit 2: Systems/DevOps
    "cargo", "gh", "tmux", "radare2", "just", "go"
]

for (i, pkg) in enumerate(packages)
    trit = (i - 1) % 3  # GF(3) assignment
    color = Gay.color_at(i, seed=69)
    println("[$trit] $pkg: $(color.hex)")
end
```

### Triad Interleaving Pattern

```julia
# Interleave Lisp, ML, Systems tools
schedule = Gay.interleave(
    [:guile, :racket, :emacs],      # Trit 0
    [:ghc, :ocaml, :agda],          # Trit 1
    [:cargo, :gh, :tmux],           # Trit 2
    seed=69
)
# => [:guile, :ghc, :cargo, :racket, :ocaml, :gh, :emacs, :agda, :tmux]
```
