Yea I agree. It really looks like he just took the datalog language, put it in a browser, and added an in-browser IDE (basically like he did with clojurescript and Light Table). Not that this might be incredibly useful, and not that his vision of a billion non-developers able to program might become a reality (through Eve), but I think everyone was expecting something more--something which had that groundbreaking Bret Victor feel-which is what I think what you're alluding to. Unfortunately, I don't think there's anyone that could mentor him--or they would do it themselves--bar possibly Bret Victor. My hope is that his grand plan evolves into something that in sum is as groundbreaking/insightful as we had imagined. At the end of the day, you gotta give it to him regardless. Not many people are going for it like him. I once was, but am back to application development. So nothing but the best of luck to Chris coming from me.
