Home > Interface Design > Inertia > Ruby Inertia



Inertia is a live user interface environment similar to Squeak and Self, in that there is no distinction between edit and runtime program modes. Prototypes have been written in C++, Io, Dylan, and now Ruby. It's a research project, so new ideas are being prototyped and explored. But it also has the goal of being very usable. Simplicity is one of the major goals.
