What a richness of thoughts and links in this thread. Another project to draw inspiration from: *Glitch Rewind*. https://medium.com/glitch/reinventing-version-control-with-glitch-rewind-914c350da442 "...with Rewind, you can see *every* change, every commit, and walk backwards in time through

Re: OT: A better way to code, by Mike Bostock

Of course, the advantage of Joe Orr's Leo Vue demo is that it provides a single link to follow, which is what happens with most of the web native apps, with nothing to install, just a link and you're done (provided that you have good connectivity, which doesn't happen in a lot of places of the

Re: OT: A better way to code, by Mike Bostock

Hi, On "talking code", I have not found nothing better that Smalltalk, specially current incarnations (like Pharo[1]) that feed on a long tradition of live coding[1a], mainly because you can create custom tools with custom presentations that can accommodate to your work flows and needs investing

Re: OT: A better way to code, by Mike Bostock

Great Terry! For me it's a meaningful first step, just in the perfect moment! Thanks a lot for sharing. Amongst all the infos I would like to "have close", it is probably one of the most importants. What I would like to have for tests would be something like this (but nicer, of course):

Re: OT: A better way to code, by Mike Bostock

Great! Many thanks for your encouraging words. So I think I should try to explain first what I mean by "talking code". The idea is simple: when someone tells you that he is a programmer, he's telling you what he DOES. But that's not, by far, all he IS. There's much more he can *tell* you

I have to admit that we are on the same boat here! After 30 years of programming, with 20+ programming languages including rare gems like CLIPPER and CHILL, I knew I was at home when I found Python. And I'm not going to change this, at least on this life! But I know that we *can get the goal

Re: OT: A better way to code, by Mike Bostock

Hi Matt, thanks for sharing this! It seems that Bostock is a strong follower of Bret Victor, which I've found always quite inspiring on better ways of programming. The work at observablehq.com seems strongly focused on intensive data manipulation and

I'm continually in awe of Mike Bostock's work, c.f. Data Driven Documents ( d3.org). Impressive as that is, it's his power to clearly explain data, visualization and programming in cohesive bundle that transforms my thinking which impresses me most. I've not yet learned to do anything
