Simple Programming Flow

Prophet

I've been searching for a video of one guy, that as far as I remembered, his life goal was to make programming easier or something.
He shows an example of animating a butterfly while the movie is still playing. It was on Flash, I guess. Does anyone remember this video? I've been searching a lot for it, but with no success.

Among other things that video likely inspired and led to the development of programs like LightTable, Nightmod, and Apple's new programming language Swift.

There are actually quite a few other "live coding" environments such as Extempore, Overtone and Sonic Pi for performing music and CG visuals with code (I think Sonic Pi is just for music though).

Extempore:

Overtone:

Searching "overtone clojure", ""meta-ex"", or "sam aaron" on YouTube leads to a lot more videos on Overtone.

If live coding interests you then you should also check out TOPLAP.

Back to the main topic of making programming easier the creator of LightTable, Chris Granger is now working on a new project called Eve (then called Aurora).
