Walrus and Building for Change
Most software is built as if nothing important will ever change, but in real systems everything eventually does. Walrus seems to start from the opposite assumption. Walrus is designed for a world where nodes leave, setups evolve, and today’s decisions are not permanent. Instead of locking data into one place, Walrus focuses on making data survive movement and change.
I like this way of thinking because Walrus is not trying to freeze the system in time. Walrus accepts that change is normal and builds around it. That makes Walrus feel more like long-term infrastructure than a short-term solution. Systems that grow old gracefully usually start with this kind of honest design.
