In early 2014, Chris Granger et al <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2014/10/01/eve-raises-2-3m-to-rethink-programming/">raised 2.3M in a round led by Andreessen Horowitz</a> with the mission of democratizing programming.
102+
</p>
103+
<p>
104+
They spent their first two years building 30+ prototypes of graphical programming tools. Most of their prototypes enabled users to build interactive visual applications, such as TodoMVC or FourSquare.
105+
</p>
106+
<p>
107+
Two years in, they released Eve v0.2 as the first prototype available to the public. It was a browser-based literate programming environment. Despite all of the graphical programming prototypes, Eve v0.2 was a text-based language. It was inspired by <a href="http://db.cs.berkeley.edu/papers/datalog2011-dedalus.pdf">Dedalus</a> (from the <a href="http://boom.cs.berkeley.edu/">BOOM Lab</a>), which in turn is based on Datalog, a subset of Prolog.
108+
</p>
109+
<p>
110+
They continued iterating on Eve v0.2, and blogged about v0.3 and v0.4, but never released hosted versions of either. <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/eve-talk/YFguOGkNrBo">Eve shut down in early 2018</a> after failing to find an acquirer.
111+
</p>
112+
<p>
113+
Thanks to the Eve team: Chris Granger, Corey Montella, Josh Cole, and Jamie Brandon. You were an inspiration.
