Made a code notebook for datalog queries. vimeo.com/798469951

As there is no plain text (or parser) does this count as another structural editor

Incredible work! And keep in mind that it’s just a single person’s effort.

Konrad Hinsen 2023-02-16 07:25:26

A single person with a power tool 🙂

Inspired by re-reading Naur’s “Programming as Theory Building” I decided to make myself a text editor to solve all my problems… tl;dr I wrote a blog post and some bash instead 😂

My first attempt at this was more elaborate -- rather than bash and saving to the file system, I was trying to do something with sqlite, and having a database backing each file of a project.

The idea was that I could assign any row + column number as an ID, and then generate a connected moon from that.

This was a cool idea, but so fragile as to be untenable. Plain text doesn't offer a great way to reference specific points in a file if that file is changing.

Cool!

Eli Mellen 2023-02-18 18:29:52

Thanks! Also welcome! 👋

While reading I first thought you were going to go full FUSE and build an alternate file system that criss-crosses the "real" files in some strange way.

Benji York 2023-02-18 18:30:32

That... might actually be cool.

Eli Mellen 2023-02-18 18:32:13

In my notes I just have a big “9p?” to indicate if Plan9’s 9p could do what I want…because I try to solve many problems with stuff from plan9

(My track record so far is 0)

heh

So glad to see more people exploring the space between files and no files. @Benji York Love the idea of doing a virtual filesystem. I definitely need to play with that.

Eli Mellen 2023-02-19 03:53:04

Something I thought about trying to do was hack some sort of editor into fossil-scm, and use SQLite to store everything … but … c

FYI I do many things with synthetic filesystems. In an effort to make it easier for others to experiment with that sort of thing, I wrote up this clojure stub as an example/convenient starting point:

Hello everyone! 👋 I am thrilled to share the progress made with Flyde with this community of like-minded individuals.

Flyde is an open-source, flow-based, and visual programming toolkit that prioritizes exceptional UX/DX and seamless integration with existing code. The toolkit features a VSCode extension, visual debugging, full TypeScript support, a rich standard library, and is designed to work in tandem with existing codebases. In essence, Flyde is similar to NodeRED, but geared towards web development.

This is the first time I am sharing Flyde with a broader community, and I believe feedback from such a talented, inquisitive, and passionate group of people would be invaluable to the project.

Check out the interactive playground here - flyde.dev/playground!

I look forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback! Additionally, a star on GitHub would be greatly appreciated! 😊
