Bret Victor: Learnable Programming
Can I ask a question - why do I have to hear about a new platform or language once a week? Is there some problem existing languages aren't solving? Seriously. It's like this place falls in love with a new platform once a quarter. Before it was Lisp, Python, Ruby, etc. Now it's Clojure and anything else that has less than 1000 people actively using it. Did I somehow wander into the hipster bar of the programmers? I just don't get it. I can't keep floating from language to language leaving a cluster f<i></i>ck of code in my wake because I'm onto the next big thing.
