Nice point about your keyboard, but I'd still contend that a series of fast keystrokes is perceived as a thrum, not necessarily a series of clicks. If you're programming DSP, then the haptic upper limits of typing is much slower than the li

Heh, well I'm happy to help with this situation, wikipedia might be a good place to start. Are there good examples of live programming literature that doesn't primarily use media generation in its examples? That might be part of the problem

Great stuff! See also "livecodelab" and "gibber": http://www.sketchpatch.net/livecodelab/index.html http://www.charlie-roberts.com/gibber/ Gibber is multi-user live coding in the browser. There are many more live coding systems here

Yes great, lets try to work this out - you should have an overlong email in your inbox from me as a starter :) I think I disagree with your definition of "edit". Perhaps this comes down to "chunking" in human perception and action. When I t

The research field trying to tackle this is called "music information retrieval", that may help with your search.. I think they have made some headway but it involves quite a few challenges - auditory scene analysis, source separation, pitc

One more point from my phone on the train.. I've also been frustrated with people assuming "live" in live coding refers to a live audience. I prefer to think of it as live electricity. But it is just a really easy way to explain live codin

Hi Sean, yes there may well be different intentions at play, the but also huge overlaps on the technical level. We are all concerned with liveness, and your debugging is my (and I think Bret Victors) exploratory programming. I can understan

Sean, I wish you'd take a closer look at live coding before saying this kind of thing, you've very much got the wrong idea about live coding. I'm just off to work but I'll send you some references later. Live coding is absolutely everythin

Yes we are probably talking past each other here a little, but I enjoy and respect your work on SuperGlue. Not having used Self I don't understand the distinction between it and Morphic. There clearly is a distinction between textual and v

I haven't actually used Self, but from reading the paper, discussion of embodiment, tangible objects, and direct manipulation makes it interesting from a visual perspective. Personally I think all computer languages are textual by definitio

Self is certainly one. http://selflanguage.org/documentation/published/programming-... But why do you think liveness requires visual programming? I see them as pretty much orthogonal. Separately, when I see "visual programming language"

He could have delivered the "this is something to build on" message without the "almost worthless" value judgement.

As Bret Victor says in his essay, live coding is not a new concept and he did not create it. The current trend in live coding seems to have spawned from a discussion between two computer musicians (Fabrice Mogini and Julian Rohrhuber) in 20

Bret Victor is annoyed at his ideas being labelled live coding, but that's what they are. Live coding environments are pretty diverse, and there is plenty of prior art for code timeline scrubbing, tangible values, auto-completion, the manip

It seems the Raspberry Pi's standard audio out is noisy, low bitrate, basically unusable for music.

I listened to this right through over laptop speakers and heard every word without problems. Perhaps you're just not used to Sam's English accent?

A big part of Sam Aaron's research is into integrating interfaces like the monome into live coding languages.
