Thanks for excitement :)

A few notes: the moving from left to right allows for a dynamic exploration which is different from the typical defined exploration from a notebook. In Glamorous Toolkit we consider that both are important and complementary.

The dynamic exploration is enabled by the tools following the context. For example, the views in the inspector appear when you get to an object that has those views. You do not call these views by name. Also, choosing a different view allows you to change the course of the exploration midstream. Furthermore, you can create a view right in place, too.

The exploration possibilities are visible, but there are more pieces that are less visible that make the environment interesting. For example, there is a whole language workbench underneath and a highly flexible editor that can also be contextualized programmatically.

If you do give it a try, please let us know what you think of it.
