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.

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.

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...

Hi Robert! I thought (perhaps incorrectly) that Lively was largely the same programming experience as Squeak, just in the browser. Do you have any screenshots showing new programming experiences in lively.next or cloxp?
