This is real neat, but expecting programmers to make such a large jump so quickly is a bit unrealistic.
My best suggestion is to integrate this well with programers existing editors, open a socket from an Emacs instance and use this as visualization. You will get much better traction that way.
- DanI-S 15y agoThis is probably the most significant comment in the thread. Most people are pretty entrenched; they will be much more willing to try a new tool if it can fit it in with their existing workflow. This applies to pretty much every problem out there, really.
- Arelius 15y agoPoint in case: See Google Wave. Wave was, in most every way better than email (To some level of debate) except for the fact that it wasn't email, and refused to have any sort of cooperation with email.
- webjprgm 15y ago[off topic] Wave was too complicated and did not integrate into everyone's existing mail clients. I had a professor that tried to use if for class lecture notes. That only lasted a couple weeks. A lunch group at work used it successfully for deciding where to go, until it was shut down last month.
