Is this a criticism of the current version or more a warning? I removed
an instance of 'artistic' but couldn't see anything contentious in use
of the phrase 'creative process' in the current version. "Creativity"
and "art" are overused words, but I think "creative process" is
qualified enough to make it useful again.
For me, a creative process is what humans follow to find something new
(to them) but still valued, within constraints or pushing against
constraints. A creative process can benefit from fast feedback, so the
creator can act and react without having to wait around. So I think
it's useful to say that live coding aides the creative process.
