CellPond: Spatial Programming Without Escape

Explore a groundbreaking approach to spatial programming in this 44-minute conference talk from ACM SIGPLAN. Dive into CellPond, an innovative system that eliminates the need for escape hatches in visual and interactive programming. Discover how this novel paradigm leverages spatial relationships to craft behavior without reverting to traditional text-based coding. Learn from Lu Wilson's presentation on how CellPond pushes the boundaries of spatial programming, offering a unique perspective on creating programs entirely within a visual medium. Gain insights into the benefits of this extreme example and its potential impact on the future of interactive programming environments.
