Hi, HN! I made The Whole Code Catalog to inspire the creators of our next generation of computational interfaces. The name is a bit ambiguous: the Catalog is not a review of more traditional programming languages we programmers already know a lot about, like Python and C, but of interesting but less-well-known ones for us, like Smalltalk, Eve, Retool, and Zapier.<p>If you're a programming languages and devtools nerd, come join the Future of Coding Community[1]!<p>[1] -

Meta<p>The site seems to be powered by observable, somehow (I don't know much about it). [1] [2].<p>Something that tends to happen with this kind of list is that things die, get outdated, etc. With some machine readable data it would be possible to run some health checks, like, if the project has a git repo, check time of last commit, etc.<p>Would be cool to rethink sites like this and other list sites like those popular "awesome XYZ" pages, such that anyone could perform some quick queries from a command line in as few steps as possible ("show me all tools with good rating that were updated at least 3 months ago", etc).<p>1: <a href="https://futureofcoding.org/catalog/observable.js" rel="nofollow">https://futureofcoding.org/catalog/observable.js</a><p>2: <a href="https://observablehq.com/@stevekrouse/untitled/3@618" rel="nofollow">https://observablehq.com/@stevekrouse/untitled/3@618</a>
Maybe ir's just me but after surfing around I can't really understand what this is. I can't see images neither code. Is this kind of luna-lang? Or a podcast about visual programming?
That's a very cool site!<p>I'm not sure that "notebook" and "reactive" are the two main features I would use to describe Eve, the one language I sort-of know on that list. I think its most distinctive characteristics were that it was synchronous and logic-programming-based (reactive might well imply synchronous, as it indeed did in the '80s and '90s, but I think these days many people think of something else when they hear "reactive" and know little about its original, fundamental aspect -- the so-called synchrony hypothesis).
Are any of these systems based on Prolog? I feel like the next great advancement will need to use the core concept of logic programming to some extent.
