Very interesting question, and one that we are struggling to address :).
It's those and more. It's also a programmable knowledge management system. It comes with playground snippets and debuggers for several languages, like JS and Python. More recently it is also a distributed Smalltalk that can be debugged remotely. It comes with a graphical stack that unifies editors with visualizations. All these in a single uniform (and not too large) environment that shows that programming, knowledge management, API management and data science can all be served in a single uniform environment.
These are just the large pieces. Yet the goal is to empower people to create their custom system-specific experiences. Actually, we go as far as to create object-specific experiences. The goal is to help people make the inside of their systems explainable through the practice of Moldable Development.
- beachy 4y agoIt's such a challenging problem developing the elevator pitch. For what it's worth (which is likely very little) the main takeaway I get from the above (in true HN style, without having read the article) is the call-out to knowledge management. Perhaps because the other bits sound like cool tech you must have built in order to pursue other goals. Who wouldn't want a distributed engine you can debug remotely! I suppose I have some sales hat on. Who could I sell what to?
