Looks like a long-winded way of writing fibonacci and other toy programs. Enjoy your unemployment.

I will, along with my Satori.

I don't get it. I tried half-assed to look for some code examples, but found none, and I can't watch any stupid videos at work. Care to post some examples?

It isn't a programming language, per se, so there is no "code examples." It's a GUI driven programming environment where you design functions by specifying how input variables map to output variables using a state chart to specify conditions on variables.

It took the guy 18 minutes to write Fibonacci in one of the videos.

Watch the video when you get a chance. The basic idea is that by formatting code more intelligently, making good use of two dimensions, it's possible to automatically untangle the maze of if/then/else and case statements that most programs devolve into. Code is organized into what he calls "schematic tables", which are a cross between a decision table and a data flow diagram. Function calls are chained together with lines, like you might expect in a graphical programming system. The difference is that they are organized into columns based on the conditions under which they execute. Instead of working the logic in your head, which anyone knows can get hairy, you get a table that depicts it precisely, with no duplicate cases, all dead code identified, and missing cases detected. Rather than going "if this then that otherwise this thing and later based on this do either the one thing but not if this other thing in which case...", you drop it into the proper column and there you go.

The only code examples are in the video. Don't know what's so hard about giving us a screenshot, but maybe they thought it came across better live.

It took 18 minutes for him to write it while explaining the system.

Real programmers don't think in terms of case enumerations.

I noticed that he is using Windows in the video, which is non-free software. If RMS were still alive today, he would be spanking his cock on that guys head.

Ewww, I just imagined RMS's cock.

Because real programmers have no idea such a thing exists. Having seen real computer programs, I am not convinced this is a good thing.

You, sir, have never even caught a distant glimpse of Satori on the horizon.  Go DIAF.

You, sir, have a totally unrealistic idea of what a Lisp program looks like. Spaghetti code, prepared in little bite-size morsels.

Good style but it   has a lot   more OO than   apple pie That   would be the   problems of 1.

Name: Anonymous 2009-03-06 10:15


The functional languages are   closer to a   nop buffer Yes   that can be   quite verbose and   be tricky to   do right because   everything is cheap   Okay well im.
