A new interview featured on Lobsters explores the philosophy of "programming in the small," a concept championed by the creator of the now-discontinued REBOL language. The developer known as Oofoe discusses how concise syntax and rich data types allow for the creation of robust, human-sized code bases without the ceremony of languages like Java or C-plus-plus. Oofoe, who has worked in the visual effects industry, explains how these principles influenced his use of other exotic languages like Forth and Janet.
