There's still code here, the text is just for people, so I wonder if this is maybe a misunderstanding.
The language presented is a variant of datalog and is as formal as any other language. If you're curious in the semantics, they boil down to Dedalus [1].
As a simple example of that, here's a clock: http://play.witheve.com/#/examples/clock.eve http://play.witheve.com/#/examples/clock.eve

- ycombinatorMan 10y agoDocumentation is, just like all things, only sometimes useful. I dont see much value in designing your entire platform around documentation. There are plenty of instances where heavy documentation is a complete waste of time.
- handojin 10y agoI think the intent is clear for people with preexisting familiarity with the same ideas. A clojure dev with some datomic. I read declarative, set oriented, database of facts, pattern matching and thought 'the revenge of prolog then'. This is really nice work. I mean this in the best possible way: I think I could teach my children to use this.
- zubairq 10y agoActually Chris Granger was heavily involved with Clojure. David Nolen gives a great shoutout to Chris Granger and Eve's predecesor, Light Table at minute 17:00 a couple of weeks ago at the Clojure TRE conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mty0RwkPmE8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mty0RwkPmE8
- roller 10y agoFor an introduction to Dedalus with less reading, Peter Alvaro's 2015 Strange Loop talk was fantastic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2Aa4PivG0g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2Aa4PivG0g --- Edit: Actually Chris Granger gave an Eve talk at the same conference. It's interesting to see how Eve has evolved since. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V1ynVyud4M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V1ynVyud4M
