I have only skimmed it until now, but it looks like a very important
step in a direction I like. Beyond the application to Bayesian
analysis, I like the idea of computation in "Cantor's paradise",
which looks like an interesting compromise between today's
dominant trial-and-error approach to correctness and the optimal
but extremely laborious approach of formal proofs.

Sounds good :-)
