I thought a benefit of ES module was allowing cyclic dependencies, but I'm not reading any discussion of that.

Just poor writing. I've talked more about this on my blog. Open source usually only works for tools for hackers. I want to reach the rest of humanity.

Yeah, I've gotten a lot of pushback on that. One approach I've seen is to reject expressions that would violate standard precedence, and require extra parentheses.

Strong agree. The syntax in this work was meant to be mostly hidden from the end user. I've found that syntax is still really useful for language design and implementation. I stopped before building the graphical programming environment on top.

Interesting. Check out the futureofcoding.org slack. There are some workshops that take early stage ideas, like LIVE and PX. Keep working on your ideas and try to pull them together into a coherent explanation. I'd be happy to take a look and give you some feedback.

Well said. You know, sometime soon I need to make a stand. My gut check was that this wasn't the hill I'm willing to die on.

Yeah that didn't happen. I stopped this work before I got to reimplementing the UI. I worked out some problems I've been obsessing about forever, but the result is just too complex and alien. Back to the drawing board. Thanks for your encouragement all these years.

Thanks yeah it's got a long way to go.

Please take this as Computer Science Fiction

And then should "live programming", where the program is running while edited, become "gramming"?

How did I miss this? Thank you!

As a geezer with glasses, I find my laptop screen works better than a monitor. The laptop screen is down in the reading zone of my progressive lenses, yet I can still look up out the window. A big monitor requires me to use glasses without any distance vision, making me feel like I'm trapped in a fishbowl.

I also love the fact that my window layout is exactly the same whether I am working at my desk or a coffeeshop. Or at least when I used to work at coffeeshops...

The scariest thing about this article is it didn't contain the word "bubble"
