Speaking as one of the investors in Eve myself (Zubair, the guy mentioned in the video), I agree with this comment. Of course I would have loved it if they had continued with Eve, but it is very hard to monetize programming tools, especially when the vision is as big as the one that the Eve team had, as so many different pieces of programming had to fall in place.

Anyway, they inspired so many others who are now working on reactive programming and they showed the market that there is interest in other models of computation, so I see their work as spawning 1000s of others interested in democratising programming.

And yes, I was a professional investor in the past, so we know the risks :)
