This looks really interesting, why did they stop working on it?

  Experimental programming languages based on completely novel concepts are difficult to program, and even more difficult to disseminate and monetize.

  They posted on HN about why, some years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16227130 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16227130 tl;dr it was hard to monetize, experimental research not really well fitting the startup model, but at the core of it I think it lacked a compelling, concrete problem to solve. Eve was an amazing tool with a lot of potential, and an unclear story of how a person might actually want to use this tool in their life.

    It's a really interesting tool. They should've focused this on the personal knowledge management crowd, I feel like they would eat that shit up for a research focused environment.
