I don't think that is an apt metaphor. Imo Openai is Apple and Google is Parc. Google experiencing a similar issue to parc where they invented transformers but have been unable to capture the value so far due to being focused on ads revenue.

True. The appeal for me is directly manipulating the code, and getting feedback. The browser console is laid out in a call response model, and you are unable to edit previous entries. You have to retype them in, or hit up on the keyboard to find the previously entered function. It is nicer to just manipulate my code and evaluate it right in the editor. It isn't a huge difference, but it has been helpful for me.

Thank you for posting this. I use Light Table on a daily basis, but don't participate in the community. This is good motivation for me to get more involved. If you have any questions here feel free to ask!

I think their new project plans to fulfill Bret Victor's vision in a way LT cannot. Bret Victor's demo was meant as a starting point. He was really advocating tools that help us understand the systems we create as programmers. Not live editing. I think Eve is an attempt to give us the tools to build and reason about our systems.

Thank you for making light table. I use it every day, and it was immensely helpful for learning clojure script.

A public demo that made it to the top of HN would be a good start. Honestly, it is so improbable you will get into ycominator that applying this late is basically impossible. Just focus on your startup and wait till next round.
