Do you guys think Bret Victor built an actual editor for his "live editing" demo, or just build enough of a demo to illustrate his principle?
It seems to me that if what he had built was a real editor (i.e. could be used for more than just his Braid demo game), there would be immense value in releasing/selling it.

- robbrit 15y agoOne of the students asked this during the Q&A period at the end of the talk, he said it was just some Javascript and HTML cooked up to do just the things that he showed. So it wasn't a real demo, only something he whipped up to demonstrate the ideas but wouldn't be available to use for actual coding.
