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.

Amazing.
The lesson for me (which has echoes of the 'hammock driven design' message)

answers but starting completely from scratch. As techies, we sometimes (I

Actually, I guess this is the driving force behind my "activism"
about "literate programming". What we do now is a "social wrong"
in the sense that we are creating software that could be so much
better, in an engineering sense, than we do now.
We create software but we lose the most valuable part

Great video,
it was interesting that the binary search example only really works
with pure functions since you must specify all of the initial state
for the debugger/visualiser.
In non-pure functions (and oo) the user is unlikely to be able to
specify valid values for all the mutable state even
This is pretty cool, and definitely something that is needed.
In terms of images etc, I see these as resources that are referenced
by the expressions going over the wire, rather than embedded in the
expressions directly. You can just send the url to the image (or data
later turned into a url), and

Hi,
this video showed up on my G+ stream about a week ago and it was /fun/ to
watch.
I think most of the people around here will be more intrigued by the first
half, which has a focus on programming.
Side-note: this is one of the (few) video presentations that just can't be
translated to text
That's a great talk, and a great basic principle: that creators need
an immediate connection to their creation.
I realized this has also been my side project for the last few months,
though mostly in "hammock phase".
I think the foundational technology we need, as a community, is an
"html5 repl".
Thanks for bringing the discussion back on track. That's a great list of
contexts & links.

Bret has built some very impressive UIs using OpenLaszlo, and he is a

I've done that for one of Rich's earlier talks posted as video. It takes time,
