In Search of Tomorrow: On the Future of Eve IDE [video]
- humanfromearth 11y agoGranger's 'Light Table' was always an experiment in my mind, but I'm kind of sad that he dropped it and moved on to the next 'let's fix' programming thing. Was it a dead-end?
- urs2102 11y agoI'm not sure, I was wondering the same thing. Although the repo seems to still be active[0]. [0]:https://github.com/LightTable/LightTable https://github.com/LightTable/LightTable
- throwaway999888 11y agoIt seems there are enough people with modest-enough expectations to carry on the torch. As opposed to the perpetual silver-bullet chasing types.
- lsh 11y agoA co-worker uses it at work exclusively for editing markdown documents. I find that a little funny. I had great optimism for LightTable, helped Kickstart it, but was disappointed with ultimately for the very reasons he outlined at the beginning of his talk: it couldn't shift me from emacs. It's not religious for me, but I could try and fail two or three times over in the time it took me to boot lighttable, figure out how to load my code, eval it and begin to debug it. I enjoyed this presentation though. His Eve does strike me as a sort of proto-semantic web, although I'm warier of pouring my optimism into it this time though.
- agumonkey 11y agoI couldn't but thinking that was John Carmack speaking.
- ivanceras 11y agoHe do sound like John Carmack.

- nextos 11y agoHow does this compare to Logicblox?
- zubairq 11y agoLogic Blox is built on some of the same principles
- jjaredsimpson 11y agoI don't like the handwritten messy slides.
- jack9 11y agoI'm sure you don't like lots of things. The hand drawn stuff is very readable. The demo work is all machine generated.
- OmarIsmail 11y agoThis looks incredibly interesting. I'd love to see what a compiler looks like in this system. It also was interesting to see him mess up the overcharging query I would have liked to see a more realistic debugging situation.
- s_kilk 11y agoThe most interesting part of this talk was how many dead-ends they hit in the process, and how those dead-ends basically sunk many of the popular notions of how to improve programming. - Make it like Excel = doesn't pan out - Make it like English = doesn't pan out - Make it visual = doesn't pan out I find the end result (kinda like a Wiki crossed with a Relational DB) intriguing.
- csrm123 11y agoThis reminds me a lot of Lotus Notes. Which I guess is no bad thing: it was an amazing environment to work in. Would it be fair to characterize this as a re-invention of that, or are there significant differences I'm overlooking? Notes wasn't without it's problems though: version control and data typing being two important ones.
