> Your edit sure won't help anything, the aggression is just uncalled for. Ok bud, shall we call an emergency UN meeting to discuss my 'aggression'?
I'm far from taking it personally, so no need from my end. What do you hope to accomplish with the antagonistic tone?
Hi All! Many of the folks here have been following us for a long time and we're really excited to finally pull everything together to show you all where our research has taken us. Eve is still very early [1], but it shows a lot of promise and I think this community especially will be interested in the ideas we've put together. As many of you were also big Light Table supporters, we wanted to talk about Eve's relation…
How is this significantly different from something like Light Table? (edit: didn't realize it was build by the people who built Light Table). It feels like a rehash of that + Python notebooks, with a bit of Xcode's playground thrown in. Problem is that despite those tools being available, I literally never use them. Ever. Nor do I have a need for them. I kind of like the idea of being able to find bits of code in a l…
That's fair. We don't talk about it in here because there was already way too much to discuss, but we've done a few non-trivial things in Eve. All of the inspector interactions are actually written in Eve [1], as is the program analyzer that provides the intelligence to make it work [2]. An important thing to keep in mind as well is that Eve does a lot with very little. 10kLoC of Eve would implement most systems twic…

Well, if version 0.2.0 doesn't fit your enterprise software needs it probably isn't very interesting.
Actually I cab think of many Enterprise uses for this... most users in an enterprise just want to build small apps which manipulate shared data

Maybe this is just an unsupported use case but I think it's because the browser window isn't wide enough so the text on the left gets cut off. I have my browser window filling up half of the screen.
EDIT: works now!

So your defense of literate program gives, as a defense, what I would think of as an attack on literate programming: Take this strawman for instance, how could you find the bug in the following code without the accompanying comment? // Print every other line of the array to the console for (var i = 0; i Because the problem with that is that now you have two competing sources of authority -- the comment, and the code.…
As another example, what if it were a method name instead of a comment?
function printEveryOtherLine(myStringArray) {
for (var i = 0; i Instead of thousands of debugger options, let's have a magic tool where you click on the thing that's going wrong.
I think there's potentially a lot of ways we can improve our programming environments. I like moon shots, people willing to explore new ways that are unconventional, approaching problems in different ways. I've followed Light Table and have been looking forward to seeing what Chris and friends come up with for Eve. That said, this is feeling very grandiose. I'd like to understand more clearly where they see Eve being…
1) Eve is amazing at graph algorithms, not so much at writing quicksort. At the same time, you don't need to write quicksort in Eve - it has all of the things you'd get from something like a SQL database. In general, anything requiring strict sequential order will be just ok right now, but it turns out actually very few things do.
2) sure and we have written some of it in Eve, check some of my other comments for links :)

I'm sorry, but that doesn't give the connotation that it's "designed for humans". Perhaps if they could give a clear indication of what that means other than "it's in a word document", I'd be more inclined to look at it a little harder.
Wow dude, you're really salty.
