Document-Oriented Programming Based on Edit History

Document-Oriented Programming Based on Edit History

Explore a novel programming environment demo that combines document-oriented programming with edit history-based representation. Discover how this approach enables local-first collaboration, automatic code adaptation, and intelligent evaluation invalidation. Learn about the prototype implementation that showcases these features, blending concepts from Smalltalk's image-based programming, Subtext's structured programming model, and modern local-first collaboration techniques. Gain insights into a vision for future programming systems that span from simple formulas to powerful reflective code, all within a 28-minute presentation by Tomas Petricek and Jonathan Edwards at the ACM SIGPLAN conference.
