Subtext is an experiment to radically simplify application programming. The goal is to combine the power of frameworks like Rails and iOS with the simplicity of a spreadsheet. Mutable state is a notorious source of complexity in application programming and indeed has long been a major dilemma in programming language design. I propose a new approach called two-way dataflow, which breaks the program into cyclic output and input phases. Output is handled with traditional one-way dataflow, which is realized here as a form of pure lazy functional programming. Input is governed by a new semantics called one-way action which is a highly restricted form of event-driven imperative programming. These restrictions statically order event execution to avoid callback hell. Two-way dataflow has been designed not only to simplify the semantics of application programming but also to support a representation\u00a0that, like a spreadsheet, provides a fully WYSIWYG programming experience.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This work is still very experimental and preliminary but I hope it is complete enough to convey several\u00a0key new ideas that are relevant to the current\u00a0trends\u00a0of “reactive” and “live” programming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
