| I really think you guys are misunderstanding my comment. Placing a button in a row is not a complex thing and frankly not something I spend a lot of time doing or worrying about. Look, it's just not. Does it require a new type of tool? IMO, no, it really doesn't. I'm quite aware of the kinds of problems "other devs face", and they are far more complex than plopping a glorified view inside of another view and hooking up an action when someone taps it. I simply do not see enough in Eve to convince me that it will significantly help with much more complicated things - things like what you describe - composition of complex business logic, layering complex build chains, etc - and here's a few other common things I don't see it providing significantly new and interesting support for: - creation and management of complex data models and how they map down to SQL or NoSQL persistence
- orchestrating complex, multithreaded processes
- API design and management
- cloud infrastructure architecture, design and management
- container design and management
- transaction processing
- analytics etc... Could something like Eve progress to encompass those types of activities? Possibly (and frankly I'd love to see it - imagine something like Eve's UI for seamlessly managing infrastructure across Azure, AWS, Google Cloud and on-prem infrastructure - that would be amazing). But IMO, it's starting by solving the wrong kinds of problems by reinventing the wheel (new language). Like I've said before, I don't need or want a new IDE or language to help me with trivial problems. I want tools that help with the harder stuff. |
