I was somewhat surprised, but very happy, to see Verse mentioned in this context (although he did get Eskil's last name wrong, it's "Steenberg"). I co-developed the initial version of Verse with Eskil; I think it was a bit before its time perhaps. It was hard to get real traction for it, but at least the things Eskil has gone on to build on top have gotten some real attention. Great, and very well deserved!

Oh man, I am full of typos today :S Verse was a huge inspiration for me and it's a shame to see it largely ignored. We're exploring similar ideas for getting our language tooling away from plain text and towards structured, networked representations. I would love to hear your thoughts on how to do that, or any advice you have from building Verse - jamie@scattered-thoughts.net EDIT I also thinks Eskil's ideas on 'what we can do' vs 'what we can get done' applies just as well to the rest of the programming industry. We're so focused on scaling up to millions of lines of code that we end up with environments where lunch_app takes a week to build and deploy.
