And then should "live programming", where the program is running while edited, become "gramming"?

Oh hi! What a pleasant surprise to see you on this thread :)

I guess what I was thinking was that when you're doing that, you're largely "postgramming". Some of the recent versions of Subtext that cater to test-first development are more "programming" in the etymological sense, but the "program" in that case is what we'd normally call a test suite—although other recent versions of Subtext turn the execution trace, complete with recorded results, into the test suite, which is more a question of "postgramming".
