Interesting 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?

Bugs 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.

This sort of reminds me of my old FileMaker days in terms of the way you layout the UI, populate it, etc.

I'll definitely keep an eye on this, I feel it could be very useful.

So 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?

The game was the first thing I thought of when I saw the title as well.

Confusion reigns. They should call it Evie.

I read "Sum" as "Sun" and was trying to figure out why there was a bubble with "salary" in it.

So 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 programming is fairly solid, and while improvements are possible, they're probably going to be evolutionary improvements that build on what we have, rather than throwing everything away in favor of a brand-new approach.
