Hi Every one, I am working on an interactive programming language named Flourish, which aims to be programmable only in run time. The only available programming style being exploratory programming, I believe it implicitly forces TDD. Even the concept of dependency injection is somewhat inclusive of language design. https://github.com/FlourishLang/flourish1.5 Please give your thoughts.

I like it. Perhaps a conditional that's not taken shouldn't show any results for the statements under it? (I'm basically channeling the binary search example in )

"Perhaps a conditional that's not taken shouldn't show any results for the statements under it?" Yes. It won't show the results. The highlighted portion of the stale result corresponding to a previous state (when the condition was evaluated to false). On a separate note, in the above screenshot, you cant change lines 10-11(grayed out) as long as the condition at line 9 is false! You can only edit executing pieces of code. This design decision was taken to prevent ANY mental simulation while coding.

Bold and intriguing idea - can't modify dead code - I kinda like it. I'm usually very strongly in favor of avoiding mental simulation, but even I'm not sure if this goes too far 😂 I can see how this enforces TDD. What if you call the same function twice? Which of the two values will be displayed? Your mention of dependency injection reminded me of the Newspeak language - have you looked at that?
