'''Subtext''' is a moderately [[visual programming language]] and environment, for writing [[application 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 [[spreadsheet|spreadsheets]] as users update cells, for frequent feedback. When itIt is intended to eventually be developed enough, it willto become a practical language for daily use. It is planned to be open software; the license is not yet determined.

Subtext was created by Jonathan Edwards who submitted a paper on the language to [[OOPSLA]]. It was accepted as part of the 2005 conference.
