Why the hate for "nodes and wires" 🤣 Sure they were a lot of dead ends, but they are also the FOC that is used by millions right now.
Just finished watching this keynote and totally agree with you - up to an amazing 90% or so of what you said! 😆 (I know an endorsement from me is probably likely to do you more harm than good in this community, but I'm driven to say it anyway; apologies).
You mentioned something about a follow-up on the Data-first, Substrate ideas (BTW, which one of those terms? you have to pick!) ... is there more detail on that crystallising just yet?
@Dany I regret getting baited into saying that. They are successful in a limited domain but I don’t see a way to generalize them. They suck up and waste a lot of youthful energy.
Duncan Cragg thanks. I’ll post details as they emerge. Gotta say the response has been less than overwhelming.

Actually, Dan Swirsky did claim to be "living in the gap", so there's 3 of us maybe: 💬 #thinking-together@2024-10-10
[October 10th, 2024 1:32 AM] dswirsky: I am currently “living” in the gap, tinkering with filling it by extending the spreadsheet paradigm beyond rows and columns of text, numbers, and dates. As I envision it, cells are described using text, where each cell represents a different application component, including data, GUI widgets, and even code. Groups of cells may be arranged hierarchically, such as a window-type parent cell and its child GUI widget cells. Different cell types have different attributes. Date-type cells have a value attribute that represents the date, a date format attribute, etc. GUI widget-type cells have display-type attributes. Code-type cells have code-triggering attributes (e.g., time-based, cell attribute value-based, etc.) As in a spreadsheet, cell attribute values are defined using literals or reactive formulas that may depend on other cell attribute values. As in a spreadsheet, the application “runs” when cell attribute values change and other cell attribute values are recalculated. See https://github.com/Danskydan/Hilltop for a brief write-up.
