As for programming for non-programmers, Ruby is still a programming language for programmers. Just higher-level one.
But there are tools like LabVIEW and Simulink (MATLAB plugin), which are fairly popular among engineers.
- agazso 16y agoOk, I tell you one everyone knows: Excel.
- drdaeman 16y agoIndeed.
- jerf 16y agoOK, so you've got an example that is all but a straight line from Visicalc. If that's still the dominant example after all these decades, it does not sound like a market that has been successfully disrupted, right? And indeed many have tried and all have failed. It is exactly what the article says, a perennial startup loser (and open source project loser too).
- gruseom 16y agoYes, spreadsheets are the obvious case of "programming for non-programmers" having succeeded. Are there others? Hypercard? Lotus Notes?
