Would anyone else be interested in a FoC demos YouTube channel?

Yes! But I wonder what it'd take to coordinate that. Can you have multiple people contribute to a YT channel?

wouldn't a playlist pointing to videos in different channels be easier and achieve the same?

I believe it is possible. I'm setting up a FoC channel as we speak 🙂

👍🏼

I was thinking it would be nice to have two playlists, one for recent work on active projects (e.g. of people here), another for inspirational previous work.

That's how I've set it up already! "Meanwhile" is for our stuff on other channels, "Classics" is for inspiration.

Is there a URL? Would you like us to share links to inspirational videos?

In case you missed it, the post with the URL and my thoughts on what we should do with the channel is the very next thread beneath this current thread in #C5T9GPWFL — https://futureofcoding.slack.com/archives/C5T9GPWFL/p1577735060205600

@Ivan Reese I made an FoC playlist here. Please feel free to copy any links you find worthy to the official FoC channel. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLep9XwiJK33dkrXIgjJE20OYxVKK050TI

This is an excellent list. Thank you!

NewtonScript had a lot of cool tech: Soups for persistence, prototypes, memory saving differential inheritance.

Sure, but I'm not quite sure what "tech to build on top of" means. Stuff like Rust, Electron, Racket? Or CRDTs?

I guess I was thinking frameworks fairly specific to FoC (e.g. a structured editor framework, or glamorous toolkit) but maybe things that help with cross platform support (if we consider that an FoC goal) such and Unity, Electron, Javascript, WASM, etc.

Things like Unity, Electron, etc. are easy find videos about as needed, so there's probably no benefit to us curating them. Whereas some hypothetical structured editor framework or the glamorous toolkit are practically FoC projects themselves, so if you have videos about that stuff there's probably a good argument to be made that we should be collecting them. For what it's worth, I think the YT channel should focus mostly on the work done by people in our community, and then also have a little bit of general "if you're new to FoC here's what we're about, and here's some of the history of our field — the sort of stuff pretty much everyone in our community will have watched or at least be familiar with, and will make reference to." Does that seem sensible?

Yup
