"My goal is to unify programmer experience (PX) with the user experience (UX).
This is an elusive goal. It has been pursued for many years, with many different hypotheses for what such a unification might entail and how it might be achieved. Related projects include Squeak Smalltalk, ToonTalk, LambdaMOO, Morphic, Croquet, Emacs, and HyperCard. A relatively successful effort to unify PX and UX was the Unix command line, where users would build short programs of process pipelines. But that has been marginalized by the development of GUI.
To me, the unification of PX and UX means that programming becomes a casual effort, such that users make it part of their normal workflow and don't even think about it as programming."
Weird, I read some of dmbarbour's articles from a RSS feed, but I never read the basis for its awelon project, basis that have been an obsession of mine for quite a while. Thanks.
