The next generation compiler

Name: Anonymous 2011-03-12 18:24

It has come to my attention that current C compilers compile C to assembly and then assembles and links the assembly code. What about a new type of compiler, which just develops an intuition on how to generate the raw binary. I'm thinking of creating the next generation C compiler, it's a trained neural network which compiles by intuition rather than preset assembly instructions. It should probably compile code much faster than current C compilers and we can market it as organic and natural since it's just like a C compiling animal as opposed to the current compiler robots.

What do you think /prog/?

It's a bit different than that. Statistical pattern recognition as well as pattern storage is what we could call the high-level process performed by our neurons (which perform their task at a much lower level). It's not the same caching your web server performs to store visited pages or the same caches your memoized function has. It's a rather ambiguous cache which remembers patterns and patterns of patterns and patterns of patterns of patterns (and so on), it does this in a messy biological way. This can be seen as a form of caching, even if it's not what you expect from traditional digital caches.

Nature gave us adaptations which lead to us surviving and reproducing. You either survive or your children survive, that's just the cold fact which produced everything that is alive in our environment. It is not a purpose. It's merely a fact. Nature has no intentions, it just is. If you survive, you continue to exist. If your children survive, some of your genetic code will continue to exist. The process has no purpose, it just is.
