Its goal is to enable scientists to write\nthe programs they need with _only_ domain expertise, _not_ programming\nexpertise.\n\nThe frontend for Honeybee—which currently targets experimental biology—can be\naccessed via the\n[Honeybee Editor](https://editor.honeybee-lang.org).\n\nHoneybee is based on our recent work on\n[Programming by Navigation](https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3729264)\nappearing in PLDI 2025.\n\n## Honeybee Editor video demo\n\nhttps://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e75636f7-d6ea-4498-9753-a0bf89e3447f\n\n## Repository structure\n\nThe main directories are:\n\n- `engine`: Programming by Navigation synthesis (all the algorithms behind\n  Honeybee). Written in Rust.\n- `editor`: Frontend code for the Honeybee Editor. Written in Elm.\n- `honey_lang`: An ergonomic Python API to define building blocks for\n  Honeybee. Written in Python.\n- `honey_libs`: Honeybee libraries (for now, just experimental biology).\n\nThe `pldi25` directory contains materials for the PLDI 2025 artifact evaluation,\nincluding the benchmarks we used (in the `benchmark` subdirectory). The easiest\nway to run the artifact evaluation is to follow the steps on the pre-packaged\n[Zenodo archive](https://zenodo.org/records/15259161) for the project.\n\n## Beyond Honeybee\n\nHoneybee is part of a broader project we’re working on called SciInterop to\nenable scientists across a variety of scientific domains to write code with\nonly domain expertise, not programming expertise. Honeybee and SciInterop are\nbased on our recent work on\n[Programming by Navigation](https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3729264),\nwhich is agnostic to the underlying scientific domain. SciInterop can therefore\nsupport domains that look very different from biology, like geospatial data\nanalysis. For example, for geospatial data analysis, we’re incorporating\nbread-and-butter computational analyses such as the normalized difference\nvegetation index (NDVI). Beyond additional domains, we are also working on\ncapabilities for SciInterop to help debug experimental design issues before\ntime-consuming and costly experiments get run as well as functionality to\nimport existing scientific publications into a Honeybee-like navigation\ninterface.
