Eve is a modern relational language for writing data-driven programs

I honestly don't understand what's special about this. It's an entire compile-to-JS language that just redoes what you can already do in JS. It's basically LevelDB (plus a few existing LevelDB plugins) and MobX/Bacon/whatever FRP library. I guess it makes it a little bit more approachable and removes some boilerplate, but if you're not developing your entire SPA in Eve, you might as well just use the exising Javascript FRP ecosystem.

this is interesting. but there's value in slogging through "old-school" programming, complete with stacktraces, debugging, and battles with syntax.

Few questions:

1. What is the run-time environment for Eve - what do I run an Eve program in/on?

2. Does it have a compiler?

3. How does the development workflow look like?

4. Where is the code stored - plain text files or some other format?

5. Can you show a sample GitHub repo with some small program written in Eve?

Eve is a serious game about internet spaceships.
