Oh, I didn't know about this. Thanks for the note Nick.

Regarding your paper, I like your strong definition of live coding as an
activity where you really have to engage with or rewrite the code ad hoc.
(i.e., the “more profound live coding must confront the running algorithm”),
and then you state that much live coding fails to live up to that promise.

Good to have some punching statements.
