Yup, and even if you don't care much about performance, you still have higher level languages which are good enough. That's why I wonder where Eve fits in. Mos

That's why I wonder where Eve fits in. Most people don't want to program. And this is NOT because they're stupid. It's because they have tons of other important things to worry about. Most people don't want to build their own TV set. They buy it because their expertise is in other things. Maybe they're a doctor. Maybe they're a fields medal winning mathematician. Heck, I'm a programmer and deal with all kinds of programming languages but don't want to know what's going on inside my TV set.
- lfowles 10y agoI haven't looked in depth at Eve, but it sounds like it's a bridge for the people that _do_ want to program but don't want (or even need) to understand the underlying complexity. As a close to home example, I've had several game ideas I've wanted to program for a while. Simple things, I've had notebooks describing behaviors and what should happen when in the game for years. My day job is software development, but I haven't been able to grok a game engine enough to implement playable versions of these games. In other words, I don't want to build my own TV set but I do want the favorite channels menu on my TV set to behave slightly differently.... perhaps it has profiles for each family member. Conceptually simple but hard as hell to execute from scratch.
