[dorkbotpdx-blabber] Field: an experimental IDE from the MIT Media Lab

[Greg Borenstein]

A number of people in this group have complained about the Arduino/ 
Processing IDE and so I thought some of you might be interested in this.

Field is:

"an environment for writing code to rapidly and experimentally  
assemble and explore algorithmic systems. It is visual, it is hybrid,  
it is code-based. We think that it has something to offer a diverse  
range of programmers and artists. Based on ideas started at the MIT  
Media Lab, Field has been in development in-house for around 6 years  
but for the last year it has been quietly available online as an open  
source project."

Here's a demo of its Processing integration:

Here's a post about it:

Looks like plugins are coded in Python. Anyone wanna take a whack at  
starting an Arduino IDE in there?
