Hi! I'm Daniel, based in Germany. I went from Lisp to Haskell enthusiast, then got inspired by Bret Victor to try to build a functional (incremental) visual live programming system. (Did I check all buzzwords? 😄) Considered this a failure after some years and went a little bit into freelancing. Now I'm cautiously dipping my feet again in the Future of Programming. I'm amazed at what's happened in the last years and am curious to find out what has evolved!

hi! where in germany? check #C03H377730Q if you haven't already 🙂

Region Karlsruhe/Heidelberg

Stuttgart here, I think you are the closest 😄

Oh nice! Finding likewise folks near one is really hard 😁 I’m fortunately also sharing my interest for FoC with my brother who is also here in the region

I'm working on a live visual programming system that someone at Programming Conf described as like Haskell / mathematics diagrams. Check it out! https://nodysseus.io

Hi Ulysses, nodysseus looks great! It's very similar to what we (I wasn't working alone most of the time) wanted to implement: Having a tree of your code where you can see every intermediate value, being able to change the program and immediately see the result etc. On the other hand, I suspect many here are trying something like that, it's basically the blueprint given by SmallTalk or Bret Victor or so many other people. 😅 I always thought this type of interface doesn't suit the mouse-keyboard interface very well, but seems to much better fit a touchscreen. What are your plans/thoughts?

Yeah, I've been torn between 3 different directions to take the project - as a livecoding (algorave) visuals tool for myself, a collaborative editor, and a mobile IDE. After Programming Conf I think I'm going to focus primarily on the mobile aspect, with a bit of collaboration tools too. I do use it on a regular laptop about as much as on mobile, but my laptop has a touch screen and I have a wacom tablet.
