- re:Clojure
- Christopher small GitHub - compdemocracy/polis: Open Source AI for large scale open ended feedback (Oz guy, didn't actually see this one)
- Cool music lightning talk porkostomus/mecca: Animated music editor in Clojurescript/re-frame
- Lukas Domagaia has a cool tracing package. Generates displays with Vega. See ctrace which I guess I haven't written on yet. Cyrik/omni-trace: Omnipotent/omniscient tracing and debugging for clojure(script)
- Athens event sync
- Auto Differentiation with SICMUtils, Tovieye Ozi, Nigeria
- Directly based on Sussman code.
- Argh speaker's english not good, not his fault at all, but makes it impossible for me to attend.
- D operator from Sussman. Computes with duals [x, x+ eps * x]. Then algebraic simplification, including discarding eps^2 etc, "forward mode automatic differentiation"
- Markus Kloimwieder github.com/ cljtiles Oh yeah it is a Block-basxed thing.
- GitHub - kloimhardt/clj-tiles: Scratch-like visual programming for Clojurescript (and link was purple so I've seen this before)
- Functional physics code along with visual blocks
- Parson's Puzzles
- Another extremely annoying foreign speaker...
- Agh his talk leads like a list of feature bullet points...that's not a language problem.
- Oh but he is cleverly going through a list genrated by his own software! OK that's style points.
- He has a clojure -> blocks feature, that's something I haven't done yet.
- Oh he's applying it to SICM! Well duh
- He has an HTML - layout language where you can also have animated stuff...that's pretty hip. Like MrFrieze almost.
- Even lets you do on-click methods...
- Hate this puzzle approach to programming, I mean, I guess its OK but seems to inculcate a wrong attitude.
- Select on a block and it gives you real-time translation. That's also prettuy good (obvious but I don't do it).
- Real time TeX generation also pretty cool
- I guess my feeling is that in this case the blocks are inferior to straight scheme.
- Difference from my stuff, I'm always trying to make a new language that is closely mapped to blocks, rather than transparently reflect the text language. Subtle difference.
- Also I think Enflame has more actual users than his.
- Ah his github page points to blockoid, not sure if he actually uses it. (No, just the link)
- Sam Ritchie porting SICM to CLJS.
- Sussman talk!
- Layering: The Architecture of Prigrams
- "All my life Ive thought of programming as an expressive medium." Can be beautiful like poetry or Maxwell's equations, art, music, prose.
- like the provenance stuff.
- "to read or be understood"
- Layers, like in old architectural drawings. Transparencies.
- Layering is a "less-developed idea" from SDF
- Layering is not just generic procedures
- Hm I am not sure I agree with him...if you expand the notion of data a bit...
- Heh, he mentions Medicine by name.
- He conquered tail-recursion layer problem in the last few weeks...
