Why can’t computing be more like playing an instrument?<\/p>\n
Liveness in electrical circuits. How to replace a light switch: safely or write it hot! In computing, you can make the same kind of choices without risk of death.<\/p>\n
Live programming: modify a running protean without doing execution.<\/p>\n
Fortran was proposed on 1953. Programming was a long task. Make a flowchart, hand write out code, full out a form. Punch cards. Etc etc etc<\/p>\n
In 1963 Ivan Sutherland came up with an interactive graphical interface. Visual languages make use of graphics.<\/p>\n
Visual languages are discoverable via interactions.<\/p>\n
This seeks a closer interaction between program and programmer. Increase visibility. Reduce latency.<\/p>\n
Early graphics were non interactive. By the 70’s, diagrams were executable. In the 80\u2019s, the were responsive.<\/p>\n
Liveness hierarchy:<\/p>\n
1. Informative. Flowchart as description
\n2. Informative and significant. Executable flowchart
\n3. Responsive
\n4. Live<\/p>\n
The Data Factory
\nHis live language. All data e elements have a place. Data flows between them.<\/p>\n
Is a bit pd-like…<\/p>\n
Proposed extension to liveness hierarchy… When does execution respond to programming changes?<\/p>\n
Level 1: never
\nLevel 2: when commanded
\nLevel 3; upon any edit
\nLevel 4: immediately and continuously<\/p>\n
Level 5: predictive. The computer crashed alternative branches and the use selected the one they want.
\nLevel 6: the computer tries to guess entire program parts<\/p>\n
Gestural input for character input is level 5. And also how I am entering this post…<\/p>\n
Level 6. Strategically predictive liveness.<\/p>\n
Liveness is only useful if the program is executed straight away. Solutions: check syntax immediately. Secondary executions like just to headphones before out to main speakers.<\/p>\n
Q: should truly live programmes learn from and incorporate errors?
\nA: software engineering is about creating an artefact. Live coding is a performance.<\/p>\n
Q: could unit testing be used for predictive aliveness?
\nA: sound like a good PhD.<\/p>\n
Q: music is stateful and development is on some sense stateless.
\nA: programmers do not think of themselves in terms of performance, but programming involves cognitive states.<\/p>\n
Q: doors livened mean the same thing to us as it does to computer science? Or live coding is not live by some definitions.
\nA: mixing singing and coding does reduce distance between thought and output.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
