Good point! Image based programming systems should be mountable as a filesystem to alleviate some of these concerns IMO.

- bitwize 4y agoBut then you've just reinvented storing code in files, poorly. Why not do the opposite -- have code live in files, index them and overlay a hierarchical browser on top?
- fiddlerwoaroof 4y agoThis is what we already have, but the problem is that hierarchical browser -> filesystem is a lossy process and you have to continually reindex the filesystem to maintain the browser. If the hierarchy is first-class and the files are derived, this is less of a problem because the source of truth is the same shape as the conceptual structure of the environment.
