The Future of Coding podcast features interviews with toolmakers, researchers, computational artists, educators, and engineers, all with compelling viewpoints on what the future of computing could be.
How ReactJS was created - with Pete Hunt
One of the original ReactJS developers at Facebook and Instagram, Pete Hunt (@floydophone) tells us the story behind the metoric rise of ReactJS. Pete explains the problems he faced Instagram Web that led him to Jordan Walke's early React prototype, and how he helped develop, evangalize, and grow React to what you know it to be today.

Unison's Paul Chiusano on how Abstraction Will Save Distributed Computing
In this episode I speak with Paul Chiusano (@pchiusano), creator of Unison, about his ambitious vision for the future, where we can abstract over distributed computing, and there are no apps. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Research Recap Five
The last two-week-research-cycle was my most productive yet! In this recap, I debreif my Alan Kay deep dive, discuss tweaking my schedule after reading Peak, review conversations with Jaime Brandon and Dan Scanlon, read aloud my thoughts on proper computer use patterns and my prototype idea LogicHub, recap my early morning meeting with CycleJS creator Andre Staltz, and discuss the next steps for my StreamSheets prototype (which is why I'm putting my Bret Victor deep dive on pause). If you were able to follow all that, my hat is off to you. I barely made it through the recording and episode of this episode alive. If you need help pieceing this episode together, you can find the notes on my website: /futureofcoding.org/episodes/9-research-recap-five.html See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Research Recap Four
After coming back from Boston, I did a deep dive into Jonathan Edwards, Jaime Brandon, Conal Elliot, as well as spending a full day reviewing Eve (Chris Granger). Towards the end of the week, I released a simple prototype for StreamSheets and send it over to Andre Staltz for ideas and feedback.

Looker's Lloyd Tabb on Growing Languages Through Deprecation
In this episode, I speak with Lloyd Tabb, co-founder and CTO of Looker, a data analytics platform build around a SQL modeling langauge, LookML. He talks about how he created a successful business around a language, and how he continually improves the language through deprecation. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Research Recap Three (WoofJS Workflow)
Over the last two weeks I had a suprise trip to Boston to meet with other researchers in this space. In preperation for the event, I spent most of the last two weeks building the WoofJS Workflow prototype.

Welcome to the Future of Coding
Hi, I'm Steve Krouse. Welcome to my podcast and open-journal research project to create the future of coding. I believe the tools we currently use to create software can be drastically improved. Join me on my journey to discover the future of coding. Every week I alternate between recapping my own research and talking with programming language and interface experts.
