This project was inspired by my frustration creating interactive applications with the conventional edit-run-compile style of development. Finding the right abstraction for the User Interface (UI) that will compose well is not easy. Additionally, If the application is a means to an end and not an end in itself (which is common for academic and in-house tools), then the UI is usually the lowest development priority. Changing the UI is painful, so often mediocre UIs rule. Emacsy allows the developer—or the user—to reshape and extend the UI and application easily at runtime.
