That's right, and I hope that's where both Tributary and programming in general are headed. However, saying that they "make the same mistake" seems odd. Progress can happen incrementally, and sometimes you have to see what works and what not. It's almost as if you have to prototype your idea and see real results immediately, very similar to the goals of learnable programming.
- seanmcdirmid 14y agoYou are right of course; the problem is that even though there have been people working on this problem since 2003, no one has communicated very well about the results outside of a few academic circles. Hancock solves this problem with live text in Flogo II, but all we know about it is from his dissertation (http://llk.media.mit.edu/papers/ch-phd.pdf http://llk.media.mit.edu/papers/ch-phd.pdf). I observed the same phenomena when I did my Sueperglue work back in 2007 (http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=179365 http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=1793...), but I never really bothered to follow up until now (with inspiration from Bret's work, of course).
