Malleable software
computing environments where anyone can mold their tools to their own unique needs.
That definition is by Geoffrey Litt, who wrote Malleable software in the age of LLMs in March 2023, whose subtext is LLMs and end user programming.
This is also the name of one of the research tracks at Ink & Switch, where Geoffrey is a senior researcher:
Designing software environments where people can customize tools in the moment to meet their unique needs.
The "Malleable Software Essay" has not yet been published. It aims to set a foundation much as their April 2019 Local-first Software essay did.
