Maybe try something like
> At flex we believe that good interfaces should empower users. We try to blur the line between simply using a user-interface and being a programmer. We do this by thinking about new ways to intuitively represent programming concepts, and endeavor to provide tools that have a smooth learning curve that takes you all the way from just being a user to being a programmer.
Unless I'm horribly misunderstanding your goals. Which really I probably am because you're horribly vague.
- theon144 10y agoWell as I understand them it's not wrong, it's just very limited. It would be like describing Engelbart's projects as "Making interaction with the computer more graphical and efficient such as by employing pointing devices and interactive text", whereas ARC's aim was much more visionary. I think their ideas go beyond just making programming more accessible (your summary), but more along the lines of "using computers as instruments of enriching thinking". One of the projects (Chorus) even specifically mentions and rejects programming as a problem-solving tool (for that specific domain of problems), instead opting for thought-process enhancement from the other side, basically making spreadsheets on steroids.
