Just curious and who knows, maybe someone will adopt it or develop something new based on its ideas.

The "Eve" programming language / IDE - https://witheve.com

It was a series of experiments with new approaches to programming. Kind of reminded me of the research that gave us Smalltalk. It would have been interesting to see where they went with it, but they wound down the project.

I know about this one as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/comments/1ioij... but the author seems to have taken it private for now. I think he's the Gren author, which is a fork of Elm.

As for me, I brought some eve-y ideas to my language project: https://github.com/mech-lang/mech

I certainly know and admire eve. However I don't think I consciously took that many features from it into EYG. I'd be curios what the crossover is
