the next leap in developer productivity won’t arrive from reducing the drudgery of typing. that wasn’t ever the problem, nor source of bugs or damper on productivity. so long as we still evaluate code in our heads (or pay the expensive compile-run-observe cost) we’re generations behind what architecture has achieved with computers. so long as i can’t evaluate the consequences of any line of code as i write it, dumping lines in industrial quantities is searching under the streetlight.
