Maybe this dual panel view for supporting live coding would be an interesting alternative approach to what IPython/Jupyter has to offer for interactive documentation in a Leo way. I imagine that some values should be carried between Leo outlines, to keep modularity of code by splitting it in particular nodes (ala Leo) and memory of the executed values across several nodes.
The video[1] doesn't make any reference to Bret's Victor inventing on principle[2], and of course there are several authors working of this, particularly in the music scene. But is interesting to see that Kirby mention also the idea of freeing the author to write code in a more creative way instead of playing the computer in his/her head, as says Victor. I wonder how live coding music would look, if made ala Leo :-). [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vdr2l3yNFH4 [2] http://worrydream.com/#!/InventingOnPrinciple The idea of the Leo way to live coding, would be pretty interesting, informed on what is happening elsewhere, but not trying to emulate it. As Edward said in another thread, the idea is not not attract programmers that are already using other editors by making Leo embeddable into them, but offering interesting features to attract the attention of top coders. Live coding ala Leo would be one of those offerings to add to Leo's unique value proposal.
