FWIW, I've mentioned in a few comments below that our first in-road here is just building websites. You can think of it as a replacement for VB6: something a normal person could use to draw out your application and then describe what happens when you interact with it.
The rest comes later, though we do believe it all flows out of a common model for programming in the same way that all of those things could come from any general purpose language.
Will be great to see what you come up with, but I think the sales pitch here is overstating what you can reasonably achieve. Everyone has had dreams of revolutionising their discipline by inventing new tools, but it's very rare for tools alone to lead to a new paradigm.
Yeah, I think that's a fair way of thinking about it, especially since we drew a lot of inspiration from Hypercard itself.
> but it's very rare for tools alone to lead to a new paradigm
I think the distinction is that a tool helps you do something more efficiently while still generally thinking about the problem in the same way. What we're proposing is a very different way of thinking about the problem, which is what I think starts to define a paradigm. That being said, this is largely semantics and not a very valuable thing to argue about: paradigms come to be by the accident of use, so we'll find out when we launch and build a community around Eve.
