I actually find it funny when Eve is discussed on Hacker News as most people on Hacker News are programmers, so they look down at Eve in the same way that C++ programmers used to look down at Basic Programmers in the 1990s (you had to be a programmer in the 1990s to know what I mean).
Yet a simpler model did prevail, and now we use so called toy languages like Javascript all the time. Eve's time will come, and in 10 years most of us who frequent hacker news today will be like the C++ developers of the 1990s in that we will be the minority. And languages like Eve and other similar projects will be considered normal programming languages. Java, Python and other languages will just be considered special purpose languages, much as C++ is considered "special purpose" today for high performance computing and operating systems
