Chris Granger's Strange Loop 2015 talk on Eve, his project to rethink programming for humans after Light Table. It shows early prototypes, including a table-based one that the project later moved away from.

HN people list it as an interesting look at one of the most serious attempts at Bret Victor-style programming tools, including how those approaches fail in practice.

A lot of people did. To what others have said, I'm going to add this: ▶ this video Which is an interesting talk about how these approaches fail in practice.

Check out this early prototype of eve mentioned here: ▶ this video Not language agnostic, but table based. (eve went in to a different direction afterwards though)

Very interesting. I'm curious what you'll come up with. The description also reminds me of Eve [1][2], which is itself based on Bloom [3][4]. [1] link [2] ▶ this video [3] link [4] link

That's a good suggestion. I'll do a little makeshift one here :) Blog posts are mostly here: link and a couple here: link Talks: link ▶ this video link link link Prototypes are collected here: link I'll try to make this nicer and put it on our homepage.

For an introduction to Dedalus with less reading, Peter Alvaro's 2015 Strange Loop talk was fantastic. link --- Edit: Actually Chris Granger gave an Eve talk at the same conference. It's interesting to see how Eve has evolved since. ▶ this video
