Sixth Generation Programming Languages

So earlier this year we were doing a class intro and my professor mentioned something about a 6th generation programming language?

Are there any such projects yet or was my prof just throwing it out there?

Also semi-related. You know the new language D? What does it qualify as?

Please don't return me to Google. It doesn't return any relevant results.

Thanks!

Fuck off, Jew.

A higher numbered generation when it comes to programming languages doesn't necessarily mean that it is a better programming language. I'd rather much stick with second through fourth generation, thank you very much.

"Sixth generation" is bullshit. Then again "generation" is bullshit too. Just trash talk to fill speeches and white papers with.

D is more or less combines the advantages of C++ and Java, but since neither C++ nor Java are too nice, the language is still shit, and the compiler is subject to shitty licensing issues.

<-- check em dubz

Falcon, Rust, and D want to dethrone python and c/c++

Embedded Systems are the WAY OF THE FUTURE!

I'll just go ahead to make history and coin the Cloud Generation Languages:
Erlang
JavaScript
Go

Consider a natural language processing system, which know its context and correctly decipher expressions like: search for a my file, which contains text "OP is a faggot", then post it to https://dis.4chan.org/read/prog/1280528937/

That would be 6th generation. Everything else isnt cool enough.

Not sure what you're implying, but Mandarin actually is much easier to learn to speak than English.

Learning ~9000 hanzi sure is easier than learning English

Sure, but it's a bitch to learn to write.

Me, regards, mandarin speaker.

Its a verbally pre-tokenized language with straightforward grammar and pronunciations. Its like a giant APL.
The symbol to sound thing looks a little easier than Japanese:
马 吗 玛 妈 are all "ma" words, they all have 马 radical.

>>55
The symbol to word thing is still hard though. Also, 5 tones.

straightforward grammar and pronunciations
Then is there a bijection between the ideogram representation of a phrase and its pronunciation?

You know the new language D? What does it qualify as?
n^th generation shit
