I'm working on tools/interfaces at Relational AI, which is doing really cool work in the declarative languages space. It was started by several of the folks whose papers were foundational to Eve. :)

I agree with the post, though as others have pointed out, it doesn't really dive into the fact that this problem is systemic and would require a shift in incentive structure.

I think the last quote you have is one of the most important missing pieces for making a meaningful change in this space. A lot of people want something better, but right now, as a community, I don't think we really know what that is. What is the complete story for an ideal version of software development? And by that I don't mean idealized examples, I mean the ideal version of the real process we have to go through. What does perfect look like in the world of changing requirements, shifting teams, legacy systems, crappy APIs, and insufficient budgets? If we could show that - not the simple examples we had for Eve, but something that addresses the raw reality of engineering - I think it would just be a matter of beating the drum.
