In this Dead Code podcast episode, Cyrus Omar and Andrew Blinn discuss Hazel, an innovative programming language and editor designed to handle incomplete programs by providing continuous feedback and partial code execution, similar to dynamic languages, while maintaining a robust type system. Hazel’s unique graphical editor allows domain-specific visual representations, such as sliders for integers and playing cards for data manipulation, making programming more intuitive and tactile. The team highlights collaborations with climate scientists for interactive data work and explores Hazel’s potential across various domains like hardware design and mathematics. Future developments include “probes” for live runtime data visualization within code, with the hope that Hazel’s novel approach will inspire broader adoption in the programming community.
