#12Bugs me when people choose a name that's already being used for something much better known.
You mean the game? Not sure there's much potential for confusion.
The game is famous enough to create real confusion. Especially in geek social circles I guess a very high percentage of people immediately think about the game when seeing "Eve".

#13Congratulations on getting this out there! Looks like the team has made a lot of progress. Looking forward to trying it out.

#14So after they didn't exactly revolutionize the IDE with Light Table, and pivoted to revolutionizing programming, they seem to have kind of come around to revolutionizing... groupware? Which at least seems more plausible, as it ought to be possible to make a better groupware application than Lotus Notes. I think the larger implication is: Programming tools are actually pretty good, and the larger process of programmin…
I get the opposite message, which is that programming tools and the process of programming are so bad, it's hard to get a computer to do a simple task for you without tearing your hair out, never mind building a UI. A better IDE (basically a better text editor) doesn't even scratch the surface.

#15I always thought BOOM was a very cool system, so it's nice to see something influenced by it.
I find it interesting that BOOM emphasized scalability, but Eve seems completely uninterested in that aspect.

#16So it looks like they've come a rather long way around to building the world's best graphical query builder, with plans for much more beyond?
I really enjoyed building data applications in MS Access before it was sunset. In fact, I finally started understanding SQL joins by using Access's graphical query builder so that it made me much better at my PHP web programming job. (That was in 2003-2005 time frame. I was also still in college.)

#17Interesting ideas, very different, but still reminds me a lot of Light Table (probably because they have the same author :p) Seems to be built on a rather interesting Rust + TypeScript stack? Can't say I've seen that one before - anyone have experience with such a stack?
The stack choice is especially interesting since I thought they were big fans of Clojure.
I would like to hear their rationale for Rust/TypeScript over Clojure/ClojureScript (or Clojure/Javascript).

To be fair, the game is also basically groupware and spreadsheets and databases ;)

I haven't thought about it but, hey, you're right!
