Re: coding technology

This is already available. Here are the installation steps:

Consume hallucinogen.
Swig Red Bull chaser.

If step one thrusts you back to the 80's or earlier, substitute No Doz and water for step two.

(This is not an endorsement for self-destructive activities of any kind.)

Update: Ok, I'll open my mind a bit. Is there an example of prior art? Does some other real-world, general purpose programming language have such a thing?

Well there's all these layers of stuff I do in my head, abstractions of the machine I need to deal with at the computer screen in different programs like terminals full of test/debug/whatever processes... Processes in my head with practical parts in various tools. Running more stuff through my head is annoying because it's brain I could be using for creativity, but it's spent holding everything together... I bump around the tools I have getting views of what's going on but it comes down to accessing stimuli at some points... Getting just the right picture of what's going on is an art. I want something that's more conducive to human cognition, makes the most of having my attention... I guess I'll look at things out there I can take parts from and put something new together... What's this floaty graphics world built in you reckon? Web? Could start there. How could I hack bits of code in the browser? Yeah so imagine a web admin tool for a database, the database is the universe, built like a mandala that you scroll around through dimensions of information... Think this is the next step in, being able to deconstruct whatever is there and create new things.	[reply]

Cool that farabi thing looks like a good code-muncher, I'll just build some more gear around it for playing with my mind better. Thing is to invent something... You have limited time and resources and can't afford to delve too much. Devel things look like they get pretty deep into somewheres and create more confusion in the process. A fresher more diverse stream of test/whatever information closer to the plan of what I want to do would be better. I am judging the cover of these things anyway. Is that how it should be? I wish I could see footprints and footnotes of other developer's experience in the cyberscapes of the thing. For example, what do most people spend most of their time doing with this thing, like the Synopsis of a module. What do most people have to do to get it working if x, like googling for a way through your broken situation. You can sorta use git to look at what's been happening on a codebase. Anyway all these things and more... Cheers! PS, how can people find the edge of our technological progress?	[reply]
