Eve
summary
Eve experiments through twenty plus rewrites and lands on concrete results: a datalog-like core that treats everything as tables, a browser IDE bootstrapped in 600 lines, a to-do MVC implemented with to-do logic in 15 lines, and an SMS outbox table that sends texts when rows appear. It shows drag‑and‑drop UI binding, entity‑relationship query diagrams, distributed execution by shipping code to remote DBs, and repeatedly discovers aggregation and scoping are the real hard problems.
