    Sounds interesting, but I bet an ape[^] could out code it any day.

    From your link: Recent research in primate programming suggests computing is a task that most higher primates can easily perform. Visual Basic 6.0™ was the preferred IDE for the majority of experiment primate subjects." Ha! wouldn't you know... Anger is the most impotent of passions. It effects nothing it goes about, and hurts the one who is possessed by it more than the one against whom it is directed. Carl Sandburg

      Yeah, that site always gives me a laugh. I also love this quote as well... **Our orangutans show a remarkable ability to code Crystal Reports®.
      They also handle a variety of mainframe report writers.
      Report writing requirements are unique to each organization.
      For this reason we dedicate a single individual to your report writing needs.

        Vancouver, B.C. - robocoder corporation today announced that it was awarded a patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for its proprietary software robot, RoboCoder® , which has the ability to generate code for itself. This critical differentiating feature allows mid-sized companies, the ability to adapt to changing business needs literally at the touch of a button. RoboCoder also eliminates bugs and errors at the outset because it starts by building one perfect piece of code which it then multiplies to write additional code. :omg: View Article RoboCoder Website

        Eh.. don't you actually have to have a working prototype in order to patent it..!? -- Schni Schna Schnappi! Schnappi Schnappi Schnapp!

          The concept of robotic or task oriented design of code is not that new. You still have to tell the robot what to write in some high level description. So what you are talking about is an english based "needs" system that writes 5 GL capable code. Each perfect to the task at hand.... But a computer cannot be innovative. It cannot look at a piece of code written as a technique for generating more accurate transparency and realize that it also has application in real-world double precision rendering environments. The gap between that relationship is one of creative and adaptive reasoning. That is something computers just aren't up to yet. As far as I know of a computer can easily be automated software or hardware at the task level, but new tasks, new innovations, new techniques, new concepts still have to come from programmers, biological kind. but if you are worried there is always Colossus the Forbin project to read.... ;) _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

            No, that requirement was removed years ago. Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

                But does it comment the code in XML :wtf:

                  And most certainly if the Ape can do it, a couple of recent CS graduates from college could give it a try ;P

No, but it is very similar (if I found the right page haskell.org) to some of the 4GL languages I played around with in the late 80's and early 90's. The goal is the reduce the functionality to absolute highest order function approach. It is the difference between drawing an F16 triangle by triangle in 3D using C which requires the programmer have a list of nodes, materials, etc. or providing a function: Draw F16 scale 10 heading 0 pitch 0 We do this in programming anyway by building functions to read files that hold all the data on what an f16 is and how to describe it to the computer. Now the function can handle the data in a similar single line call. However the draw function must have intimate knownledge of what an F16 to draw it. What happens if I want to damage the object? Now you have left the realm of knowledge and gone into the unknown. Of course if the language is extensible, then I write a new function of higher order using lower order code (done by a human) to privide a new high level function: damage F16 draw F16 etc. That is why I am not too worried about anyone replacing programmers as yet. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.
