Using emojis to highlight macros (or other things)

This is very interesting and has a Bret Victor vibe. I welcome visual attention anchors like indentation, syntax highlight and icons in my GUI apps. At the same time I can’t stand emojis in my TUI/CLI apps, to the point that I’m cursing and raging when they are hardcoded and there’s no setting to turn them off

@vuk ;D

so hear is some of the vibe in question , in case it might be of interest

Bret Victor - Media for Thinking the Unthinkable .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUaOucZRlmE

THIS : Bret Victor - Inventing on Principle

- YouTube

specifically the example with the “turtle game”
and trying to line up some variables so the player can “make the jump”

but iv got distracted ((un)help full automaton )

I’m a big fan of Bret Victor’s writings. Particularly at the start of TW5 his ideas were very influential for me.

I’d also recommend the writing of Steve Witten at https://acko.net/. His writing is more technical, but grounded in unusual perspectives. He’s got a way with words, too. This quote from his latest article hits hard for me:

Every templating language wants to become a programming language

I did like this talk, when I saw it the first time — a long time ago. The presented IDEs (software editors) are nice. … It would be nice if it would be available other than the demos.

What is not shown in the presentation is, how to evaluate the code in real-time. There is a lot of (hidden) software that makes that possible. Especially if the code on the left is “incomplete” or “invalid”.

We can see this with our TW preview area, which occasionally goes “haywire” if procedure calls use invalid parameters. So the “backend” has to be very fault tolerant and specific at the same time to make live editing happen.

IMO an other downside is, that the “backend” also has to be quite use-case specific and probably fails with unknown generic examples. That may be the reason, why this IDEs have not taken over the market by storm. – May be they have, … I just do not know them.
