A couple of days ago I finally had my Google Wave sandbox account. Given that I just finished developing my very first robot, I thought I’d share some impressions on the whole thing. From the user-side, things are far from being ready. Some important features are still missing, just to name one you can’t remove user from a wave once they joined (or, alternatively, there’s no way to ignore a wave). Indeed, given that I joined several waves to try other people applications, I’m getting continuous notifications. But anyway, the whole thing is to me like a great development playground where I can make all the sorts of experiments.

The decimal numeral system is composed of ten digits, which we represent as “0123456789” (the digits in a system are written from lowest to highest). Imagine you have discovered an alien numeral system composed of some number of digits, which may or may not be the same as those used in decimal. For example, if the alien numeral system were represented as “oF8”, then the numbers one through ten would be (F, 8, Fo, FF, F8, 8o, 8F, 88, Foo, FoF). We would like to be able to work with numbers in arbitrary alien systems. More generally, we want to be able to convert an arbitrary number that’s written in one alien system into a second alien system.
