Eve has changed a great deal since Chris' original demo. It's much closer now to a spreadsheet or a relational database than to Smalltalk. All data lives in tables. Views are built using relational queries and update incrementally when data changes. IO is done by watchers that react to data arriving in certain tables. The only link to Smalltalk is the idea of running the program inside the development environment so the tools can all access live data.


OK. Good to know. But is the database itself still immutable then?
