Abstract

The paper presents an idea for a programming language specifically designed for an interactive environment similar to a notebook. It aims at combining the power of a programming language with the usability of a spreadsheet. The comments presented could be modified as per needs.


Description

Notebooks such as Jupyter give programming languages a level of interactivity approaching that of spreadsheets. The paper presents an idea for a programming language specifically designed for an interactive environment similar to a notebook. It aims at combining the power of a programming language with the usability of a spreadsheet. Instead of free-form code, the user creates fields/columns, but these can be combined into tables and object classes. By declaratively cycling through field elements, loops and other programming constructs can be created.
