There are lots of hobbyists, academics, and even companies inspired by Bret Victor’s talks alone.

I know of at least 2 open source experimental programs that were inspired by specific demos:

https://github.com/laszlokorte/reform-swift

http://recursivedrawing.com/

I know there are more too but I can’t find them right now. You could probably find a lot of good stuff just searching GitHub for “Bret Victor”.

There are lots of people in academia experimenting with programming languages and environments. Try searching for papers that cite Bret Victor as well and I’m sure you’ll find plenty.

For a quick glimpse at the academic world without spending hours looking for papers worth reading, I recommend perusing the Strange Loop Conference YouTube channel. There are some interesting experimental programming languages and IDEs out there.



It's interesting to note that webflow was also inspired by Bret Victor. I'd certainly say this is a succesful product.


We are trying to apply his ideas to quantum computing interactions. Starting with linked, scrubbable visualizations for building intuitions.
