Beads: Computer language and toolchain

While I've not interacted with the author, his Twitter and blog opines on all kinds of subjects and has the firm, authoritative tone of an older person who is not exactly ignorant but who doesn't recognize the depth of his own indoctrination, the silencing of the internal critic. He has all the answers already.

And, really, that's the only kind of person that could make something of this encompassing but simultaneously incoherent nature, I think.

It reminds me of the bold claims Paul Graham originally made about Arc. This website here is proof that at least something can come out of that, I guess.

Have you read any of the reference manual? Why do you suggest the product is incoherent? it has been highly polished, and have written tens of thousands of lines of code in the language, and it works very well. A nice balance of concise vs. readable.

What indoctrination are you referring exactly? I don't understand the motivation for personal attacks on the author of a product you haven't even tried yet.

For those people who would prefer not to have to waste 100 hours of their time mastering CSS, the 10 hours it takes to learn Beads might be a better bargain.
