The talk was really enligthing... but I would say it is still research. While I can trust you can make, say an intuitive and reactive UI for flash like animations, I think there are still problems to take care of for the program example.
Here this is just a simple algorithm without long calls inside, without access to external systems or mutable state. All kind of things that would simply fail to work properly in pratice. I can see this as an evolution of unit testing and debugging. You still need to mock dependancies and take care to build input data to test your program. But in exchange you can check interractively execution outcome and intermediate steps and tweak it until it provide the required result. You could then ask to generate the proper unit test because well all information is already available. But making this kind of UI fluid and easy including a way to properly specify your mocks (and what is not mocked) is going to be complex... But I agree, functional languages that tend to favor pure functions really help there.
