People need to click run button, see output, change code, click run again see output.
There are a lot of ideas that greatly improved this experience like live-reloading (a lot in the audio / visual context, and UI dev).
However the most exciting idea I've seen is still the experiments done by Bret Victor, like in Learnable Programming .
Seeing his experiements on combining live reload + sensible controls still takes my breath every time.
You might know we're on the way of adopting Codemirror 6 to replace Monaco for a more extensible and maintainable editor (shoutout to Sergei for carrying us through this hard time!).
One day I saw Faris made a css color picker codemirror 6 extension and it got me thinking, hmm CM6's extension system is really handy, what if we make some more sensible controls over all kinds of values, and make something like the Bret Victor experiments?
Excited by the idea, I decided to do shove off some non-urgent tasks and do a little hack week on my own to jam out these thoughts.
But first, gotta book a slot on the demo calendar: excited to excite Barron …
