“Web like”, where the script is downloaded from the net for each execution and run by a single signed app that we provide (NetHMD). Fully specified by an app-scheme URI, this allows VR experiences to be launched directly from web pages or app-links on Facebook, which I think is VERY powerful – read about how great something is while browsing on your phone, then just click the link and get the “insert into HMD” dialog and jump right there. VR scripts can link to other VR scripts without leaving VR. There is no direct monetization here, but IAP can eventually be supported.

He used to be cool.

Woopdeefuckingdoo, you could do this back in the '90s with VRML. It never went anywhere then, and I don't expect it to anytime soon either.

Now that it's VR there might be enough hype to push VRML.

Racket is the new JavaScript in the sense that programmers will make languages that compile to it so they don't have to use it.

Actually, the whole point of Racket is to make languages that "compile" to it. Language-oriented programming, you know. And Racket is a much better language than Javascript (in fact, any language is).
