Caterpillar

Many years ago, I watched Bret Victor's Inventing on Principle. It was extremely inspiring, but I never used that inspiration. I never created something from it.

Years later, I saw Stop Writing Dead Programs by Jack Rusher, and it hit me like a brick. It shamed me! All these years that I knew of a better approach, and I wasn't doing anything about it. This couldn't continue. And so I started working on Caterpillar, an interactive language.

Interactivity isn't all that Caterpillar is about. I have many more ideas, some of which I already wrote about. But it's how it all started. The first seed of this project.
