Glamorous Toolkit Live #1: Moldable development & a tour, ~34:00

Some ยง Software Design issues/concerns might actually be tool issues. With better tooling support, we might actually structure code differently.

Examples

  • Big vs small function. One of the argument against small function is that their require keeping more context in head (what other functions are doing), but a tool can make it easy to look up other function (e.g., Glamorous toolkit can show function definitions inline), invalidating the argument.
