His ideas are inspiring. But I'm a "mechanical" guy, I want to know how it works. Stop me if I'm wrong, but there seems to be very little on that front. If you look for instance at LightTables, which sort of scratch the same visualization itch. The demos are awesome, but then you think at what it takes to make them work, you realize it's a lot of case-per-case work. Work people won't always be willing to put in to have a nicer visualization of a problem instance. It's dead in the water for general debugging, for instance. I can see it work for specialized frameworks (animation ...) and scientific research however. So I'm interested but not excited enough to jump into the bandwagon before I know where it's headed.
