Talk given at FOSDEM 2021 about Spritely Goblins. Spritely Goblins is a transactional, distributed programming environment, designed to be safe to use in mutually suspicious networks.

This one talks a bit about the history of Spritely Goblins from a programming language perspective, then goes on to talk about how the ideas can apply to the Guile and Guix communities especially, as well as in-progress work to collaborate with Agoric folks.
