Subtext is an moderately visual programming language (VPL) and environment, for writing application software, not system software. It is an experimental, research attempt to develop a new programming model, called Example Centric Programming, by treating copied blocks as first class prototypes, for program structure. It uses live text, similar to what occurs in spreadsheets as users update cells, for frequent feedback. When it is developed enough, it will become a practical language for daily use. It is planned to be open software; the license is not yet determined.
