I acknowledge the First Australians on whose traditional lands we meet, and pay respect to the elders past and present.
intro: livecoding#

leverage in a cultural domain#
a lever is a (designed) interface
language = leverage#
designing a programming language is process design
The shift from ‘architect’ to ‘gardener’ — from someone who carries a full picture of the work before it is made, to someone who plants seeds and waits to see what will come up.
Programmers are trained to seek maximal and global solutions. Why solve a specific problem in one place when you can fix the general problem for everybody, and for all time?
