   I've been live-coding my Lua-based markup language luaML using a driver program. Now I've pulled luaML into the driver program so that I can open multiple buffers, move them around, zoom in, zoom out, etc.

   (And yes, you can live-program the driver. Not quite using itself, but by copying it into a "meta driver" and making a handful of edits.)

   Compare v1 of the driver: https://merveilles.town/@akkartik/109182295383555872; v2: https://merveilles.town/@akkartik/109420170803345855

     A map for code

     In this video, I start up in quick succession:

     * a simple test app
     * the 'driver' programming environment showing the map for the app's code
     * the 'meta-driver' programming environment showing the map for the driver's code

     On initial load the driver (glitchily) zooms out over the whole codebase before zooming back in to the previous session.

     (Inspiration: early side-scrolling videogames that would often start a new level by panning across all of it.)

     Inspired by @ltratt's https://tratt.net/laurie/blog/2023/compiled_and_interpreted_languages_two_ways_of_saying_tomato.html, I spent some time kicking the wheels on my code map based programming environment by building a BF interpreter.

     Next up: reproducing in Lua Laurence's results regarding the compiler-interpreter spectrum.
