I'm sure it is true, as Georg states, that live programming environments
and practices may have general utility - as Sorensen advocates. There seems
to (should) be an assumption that 'live coding' is performative and that
'coding' is live (i.e., an activity), so a coding or programming
distinction seems unnecessary as does, I hope, the need to add
'performance' to the end of 'live coding' in order to be understood.
