Thank you for these intriguing thoughts behind the development of Eve. This project was for me the most valuable find in this whole discussion. There are a number of fundamental design decisions in Eve that opened my eyes to a fresh rethinking of the underlying assumptions in existing languages.

The code examples demonstrate surprising simplicity in achieving features that would be complicated to implement in other languages. I'm convinced that Eve will influence how programmers think (at least it did for me) and promote development of languages/frameworks/libraries that adopt some of these ideas. Great work, will be following with interest.
