31Urbit’s kernel is graduating from its rebellious period, however its _userspace_ has remained embryonic for most of its history. The project of building an application model has been restarted and rescoped into _aspects_ that could weather the chaotic growth of the kernel, but it would never quite serve as an interface to the entire operating system. Due to one of our latest vane refactors, it’s becoming possible to start that work in earnest.

33−Alongside the latest release of Landscape came the rewrite of the [`%eyre`](https://urbit.org/docs/learn/arvo/eyre/) vane, which serves an ship’s files and applications over HTTP. Among the improvements came the decision to move from serving from one ‘/web’ folder by default to an application-specific endpoint.

83−We will backport these exploratory developments into Landscape as they continue and evolve. Even in the kernel, as we refactor [Gall](https://urbit.org/docs/learn/arvo/gall/) the userspace handler vane, and standardise new, streamlined practices for writing Hoon in user applications. Take, for example, the [async monad](https://groups.google.com/a/urbit.org/forum/#!topic/dev/DDG6gHSG1Lc), which allows you to avoid dealing with moves or handling each response in separate parts of the application. User applications and Hoon should be both laconic and accessible, and we’re reifying that.
