Future of Coding

Looking forward to more details and examples about programming Beads, <@UEQ6M68H0>!
Meanwhile: <http://www.e-dejong.com/blog/2019/6/10/the-beads-system-in-10-minutes>

Sounds very interesting. And indeed example program would be interesting to see

I have posted some specifications for 4 simple programs, and the implementation in Beads to GitHub at <https://github.com/magicmouse/beads-examples>

The 4 program specs are sufficient, along with a screenshot of a conforming implementation, to allow people try out other languages. I have a couple more coming and it seems that by the time you get to chess many languages poop out. Playing sounds, responding to events, drawing precisely, handling different window sizes/device sizes seems to trip up a lot of the more purely textual languages. One of my simplicity goals is to avoid any makefile stuff and avoiding frameworks, only relying on a tiny set of APi functions one must master to build useful programs.
