What it is

Chris Granger, creator of Light Table and the Eve language, gives a Berkeley data science lecture on what computation and programming might look like in ten years. He covers the path that led to Eve and ends with demos.

Why Hacker News recommends it

HN keeps pointing to it as a thoughtful vision of programming for non-programmers and as background on Eve's motivations.
