      Thank you so much for the reference. Although I've been following some of Bret Victor's experiments from time to time I didn't know about this essay. Really a wonderful piece of writing with many valuable ideas. Sometimes is essential to make one step back and look at the picture from a certain distance. Coding can be a passion, but sometimes you just follow your inertia without wondering if your design patterns and learning processes make sense or could be questioned.
      Personally, following Bret Victor's line of discussion, I introduced myself to programming precisely through Processing environment. I'm very thankful for many things I learned from zero thanks to Processing but I totally agree with BV about the inconsistency behind many decisions in Processing structure.
      Again, thanks from the link. I like very much about these forums the possibility to discuss about how to twist a line and at the same time to talk about more abstract concepts that are happening behind all our coding/designing activity...

      Codea uses some of the theories stated here, like seeing the immediate state of color triples. I first saw it with Codea (might be because of my lack of knowledge in this domain), but I was immediately hooked (eg: http://twolivesleft.com/Codea/Screen-Colors.png or http://twolivesleft.com/Codea/Screen-Sprites.png).

      Thanks for sharing the link, I'm going to print it out and read it thoroughly.

      Yes, that's right, some of Codea's features are nice, they really help, and are implemented with sensitivity, but they are just a tiny detail compared to the change of paradigm the article exposes...
