You’re absolutely right. I was having a bad day, but that doesn’t mean I should have been an ass.

This is really cool. I've seen some other program that has almost the same type of interface. It's called Max/Msp.

Interesting, I downloaded and got a lily app running. I know this is a developer tool, but we like eye candy too – the interface is as basic as it comes.

After reading the “quick start” guide and clicking around for 10-15 minutes, I could not even figure out how to get something to print to the debug window. Either something is missing, I overlooked a key point, or I’m a moron.

Thanks Mozilla, from the demos it looks like this could really be a great in-road to quickly making tools that interact with the browser – even without actually having to code much.

@xxdesmus: How about asking nicely instead of being sarcastic and rude? It was an obvious oversight so I would expect at least a semblance of courtesy when commenting.

How about a link to the Lilly website, instead of just video links? Yes, I figured out the link, but it’s a pretty obvious thing to include when you talk about a company.
