"Come on, no feedback at all? Lambda the Ultimate By Sean McDirmid at Mon, 2014-08-25 10:15"

“If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it was, and always will be yours. If it never returns, it was never yours to begin with.” ― Sherrilyn Kenyon, Unleash the Night

Excellent expansion of the material Sean, especially the reference to the influence of your thesis on SuperGlue and self adjusting computation!

The time has now come to set your prototype free, as you promised to. It is one thing to evaluate videos and papers, and quite another to work with a prototype and submit changes/proposals/code.

Managed Time threatens to be stillborn by continuing delay in the release of your prototype. Your registration to this work is cemented, as is Chris Hancock's, whom you continually reference throughout your work.

Set it free.

How to package it? What should it do? It is one thing to build a research prototype, it is quite another to build something that is useful to others! I would also have to get my bosses to agree, but that is quite secondary.

Believe me, I want to release, but I have to figure out how!

IMHO, releasing it with a couple of working examples would be sufficient to get the ball rolling for most of the hacker types who would be interested in working with the prototype.

As the code is C# based, Visual Studio Express would provide the perfect vehicle for experimentation, requiring little in the way of formal packaging.

Release it under Github and let the organic evolutionary forking work.

I would expect there to be a flurry of prototyping activity, which should be culled into a stable release once this phase settles.

I would recommend to get the ball rolling now before the conference in October so that it can be released then.

Lambda the Ultimate Programming with Managed Time To appear in Onward! 2014; abstract:

>>Live coding vs. live programming ... But if instead you were trying to develop better nuclear plant software tested via simulation, a live programming environment might make more sense.

My Motivation: I'm one of those guys "trying to develop better" safety critical Avionics Software "tested via simulation".

Thank you for being so enthusiastic and optimistic about my research, it really means a lot to me.

I'll see what I can do; it would be nice to have this project up at least on Github.
