Playing with some of the no-code programmable features of @RoamResearch (pomodoro timer, kanban boards etc) strikes me that a) this has potential to be the first real no-code environment since Excel and b) it's a way to do Wolfram-style computational essays without Mathematica

The {{table}} model is revealing. At once reveals the strengths and weaknesses of the nested list as first-class citizen. You're reducing 2d to 1d, so you have to choose whether it will be row-dominant or column-dominant. At the moment they have row-dominant as a design choice.

What's keeping this manageable is that Conor has discovered a really powerful source of conceptual integrity here, the nested, referenceable block model. Without it, this would be a duct-taped set of features that would fall apart. With it, it's snowballing into a Real Paradigm™

Full disclosure, I've recently started doing some consulting for Roam too, but this thread is with user-hat on (am on the believer plan). If I were 20 years younger, I'd probably be trying to get a job with them.
