> Do you really think a mathematician, biologist, or chemist can't think through a logical approach to solving a problem?
No, then again, I think that mathemeticians, biologists, and chemists now, with existing tools, often program computers to solve problems without being "professional programmers". (And not just with Excel and similar tools.)
> We've bootstrapped the editor, parts of the incremental compiler, parts of the platform, the domain editors, etc. If you can do that in an "yet another app builder", I'd definitely love to see it.
I think all of that is significant, and I didn't intend to minimize that.
> We're picking one domain to focus on because that's how you grow a product
Insofar as I have concerns with the way the short-term focus is described, its that:
1) There isn't a clear description of what unique thing Eve intends to the table in that initial focal market, and
2) The initial focal market, as it has been described, seems quite crowded, rather than a gap that needs filled.
