I think this is awesome and I encourage this extraordinaire effort.

Here are my reasons:

1. I've actually coded something similar a long time ago (I think Eve is even better than my solution) and it worked. My team and I were able to make entire apps in a heartbeat.

2. The reason it works is because, as pg famously wrote, programmers think in the language they use. Our cognitive load and power are function of the language we think in. The key to Eve on this purpose is that you can program not only your app, but the development organisation that goes with it. Also, it is beginner friendly.

3. With 1. and 2., you get that Eve is related to reflectivity and homoiconicity. Maybe it is what's behind homoiconicity: your code and your organisation share the same language.

I wish the Eve team the best.
