Beschreibung
Ideas discussed:
* Be deadly with one scripting language, and one editor/IDE.
* Sculpt your program while it runs: incremental development.
* Program in pictures: data-directed programming.
* Build a strong domain language (without DSLs or macros).
* Work on simplicity.
* Program like a gamer.
* Empower your users with some of your power.
* Give users defaults; and a way for "power users" to decide tradeoffs for themselves.
* Let your tools operate on themselves.
* Piggyback on strong systems.
