A colleague of mine is writing his thesis about Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) and also covers the topic of rapid game prototyping. He’s (at least in my opinion 
) up to some really crazy stuff…although I must admit I don’t understand everything he talks about.
Recently, he also started blogging about this, so if you’re interested in some alternative programming thoughts and styles, check out his blog every once and a while: http://lambdor.net/
I also linked him in my blogroll in case you can’t remember his URL .
