A trend prediction on web-apps and app development in general, based on last year's data.

It's definitely an odd number. If it were even you could divide it into 2 parts which, by definition, is not possible.

You count up from 1 in steps of 2 and never stop.

Infinity is the process of this never-ending count.

I guess if the AI is good enough, your point makes some sense. It's a good programming habit to doc your code as you write it. If you do this in a structured way and code folding is used the comments should get out of the way from the main code.

Why could you not create a comment block above the code section in question and fold it. All IDE's nowadays support folding, including comment block folding. To see what a section of code does, you unfold the comment block above it, read it, then fold it back.

Emacs is a great editor if you don't want to have to use the mouse and once you get familiar with its command set. What I'm working on is creating a keyboard-input only GUI SDK that enables you to build something like Emacs easily.

Connecting the IDE to teaching makes a lot of sense

FWIW, A sitar also has a 12 note scale, but the frets are moveable so you can tune by ear. The drawback is, you only play melodies on the top string and there are no chords. It's possible to design a guitar where the frets are spaced at harmonic intervals and not equal tempered, but then, you can only play in one key, the key of E and you can't capo or play barre chords. However, if you do play such a redesigned guitar in the key of E, it will sound sweeter because all your notes will be harmonic and you could play chords.

I'm thinking more in terms of what you put into that interface. Do you add features that you might need later? My approach would be no. You design your first interface with only what you need right now. And if you don't need an interface to do that, you bring in the interface later.
