Current research: UI construction
DCTP
Conal Elliott’s “original vision for FRP”
Last paper: why Redux has modularity problems and DCTP solves them
Very hard to explain (but I am trying nonetheless)
Current work: visualizing DCTP
I hope seeing the events flow through the streams will help
Eventually constructing the streams visually
Mission
End-user programming
Enable all people to modify they software they use in the course of using it.
All software will be co-created by decentralized communities, rather than centralized groups or companies.
Through the power of crowd-sourcing, the quality of all software will become much higher than existing software.
All software will be much more composible, interoperable with other pieces of software.
All software will be arbitrarily customizable, allowing for bespoke, tailored experiences.
Learning to communicate with computers teaches one how to think more clearly, precisely, mathmatically, and powerfully. If one can manipulate the software one uses, if only one learns how to organize one’s thoughts, many people will self-teach themselvse to do just that.
As the fabric of the world is eaten by software, the ability to fully manipulate that software one uses is an essential freedom.
