Imagine a device with a C/Python/Java compiler? Imagine the power you would have if you could write your own drivers to integrate with hardware, rather than relying on a limited SDK that Apple and Android provide? Even if you are providing a mass market edition of your phone, it wouldn't be hard to provide the same kind of Fischer Price layer over the Linux installation that would give novice users the same simple UX as the likes of Android and Apple. That is the future of mobile computing and I hope that Jolla have enough vision to realise it.
Your vision looks very nice. But if you read the press releases by Jolla, there is nothing of your vision there. They are going to make a phone for the masses running a closed ecosystem.
