Scott Anderson 2021-07-13 04:11:36 Jack Rusher 2021-07-13 07:18:07 I just came here to share this too 🙂 Really nice to see someone trying different angles on structure editing...
Alexander Chichigin 2021-07-14 07:29:08 Nick Smith 2021-07-15 01:00:32 Would you propose adding every programming language with a Wikipedia entry to the whole code catalog? There are so many PL projects out there, and most of them are just abandoned experiments. I used to spend a lot of time looking into all this niche languages, and all I learnt was "people like making languages". The languages themselves typically weren't very interesting or enlightening. Many of them were incomplete and undocumented, or even completely broken (the only working part was the webpage).
Florian Schulz 2021-07-15 03:33:22 No, I’m not proposing adding every programming language to the Catalog itself. But I appreciate that The Whole Code Catalog also links to other similar collections where this one might fit in.
I think there’s value in both highly curated collections (The Whole Code Catalog) and others that are more inclusive like the one linked here.
Alexander Chichigin 2021-07-16 08:22:19 Yeah, that's a really interesting project. The idea was floating around for 30 years at least, but it's very impressive how far they could actually take it! 😄
Denny Vrandečić 2021-07-15 01:06:09 We are hiring for Wikifunctions at Wikimedia! Our goal is to democratize programing by creating a community-curated and -maintained library of functions, available in many languages (both natural and programming), and integrate it all with Wikipedia, Wikidata, and the other Wikimedia projects. More background in the replies, and happy to answer more questions. Our team is mostly remote (although we do have an office), and we also hire outside the US.

Denny Vrandečić 2021-07-16 13:56:59 In case your profile, skills, or career state maps better to a manager than an IC, we are also hiring for an Engineering Manager for Wikifunctions! Come and join us and invent the Future of Coding at Wikimedia, and build towards a world where everyone can share in the sum of all knowledge - and where code is a new form of knowledge.

Florian Schulz 2021-07-18 12:25:00 I’ve posted Blokdots already but I found the idea of a virtual “signal tower”:
This virtual component allows you to trigger multiple things when other elments get triggered. You can stack them together as you want to enable endless complexity.

It’s that kind of metaphor that can make programming more approachable.
