Yeah, that's all good. But why call people who understand that programming environments should not be opaque (and not violate elementary laws of design by obscuring readings of system's state) "livecoding nerds"? Really, why? :)

But what's the relation between 'not throwing crucial design principles out of the window this time' (by not creating opaque, contrived and state-hiding system because tradition seems to approve it) and 'Live Coding' (where people see process of writing code in real-time as a part of artistic performance)?
