Welcome to the
Future Software Meet-Up!
We want software that is...
More Intelligent
Easier
Faster
Safe!
actually covers it all.
Today's software is so full of dumbness.
You will definitely notice the difference
when you see some of our new software... :-)
Why does software have to be "installed"?
The process is too complicated. It's a waste of time.
The solution?
Instead of "installing" software...
Dogma:
Software should be movable from one machine to another.
With like one click.
And that includes program AND data.
Glad you figured that out.
Still, moving is a useful mental concept,
even though you actually copy and delete.
btw:
Let's never delete anything.
Our hard drives are so big.
Don't delete - just put it "in the attic".
This is one of the fundamental things we need
for our new software generation.
Why ever run unsafe code again?
You don't need to.
Really.
Well. There are two ways.
Sandboxing, trust, and auditing.
OK, that is actually three.
At least one of these three is always available.
Thus you can be safe all the time.
When everyone codes or uses alone,
there is no synergy.
Let's open it up.
Show us what you're doing.
Whatever it is.
We can help you do it.
We only needed it because there were anti-drug laws.
^^
Good riddance to those!
Just believe in it.
There will be artificial intelligence.
A program that understands.
We can produce that program.
Actually: It is many programs.
With the presence of an artificially intelligent program,
everything changes.
It's like being in a team instead of operating alone.
Is it possible?
Yes it is possible.
We create it step by step.
It's a good approach.
Every step is useful.
Every day, our software gets better.
And learning stuff is not so difficult.
We can do it.
Suppose you have a piece of software X and a piece of data Y.
Can you run X on Y safely?
(The data might be malformed,
the program might be buggy
or not compatible with your machine,
it might run in a loop
or use too much memory...)
We need universal safe code execution.
That actually solves the "software problem".
Basically, any programming language can be used.
Some just make it hellishly difficult
to do what we want to do.
So far, we have explored Lua and Java.
We can continue to support both.
Can you think of one of the "hellish" languages?
Both Lua and Java offer these two crucial features:
Platform independence
Safe execution
(Safe execution = GC + no pointer arithmetic)
Everything should be available as source code.
Really.
Sometimes source code is a must-have
(for security audits).
On all other occasions,
it's just good to know that sources of stuff are available.
It's good for extending, understanding, adapting ...
We need playgrounds to build our new software in.
And we have some.
Text2GUI is one.
TinyBrain is the other one.
Ultimately, Text2GUI is more flexible.
You can build any kind of application in Text2GUI:
GUI, functionality, everything.
Anything that can be done in Java
can be done in Text2GUI.
The scope is everything.
Any software application you can imagine
is one we can produce.
Any example for machine learning
is one we can implement.
Just get started on whatever you're interested in.
We can redefine - or actually eliminate - the art of programming.
Anything.
Everything.
Anything you like.
If what you do goes in the right direction
- towards simplicity, safety, intelligence - it is OK.
Use any language.
Implement anything you like.
Share it with us and be famous.
(It does help us at this point if you use Java. ^^)
Stay tuned.
Join in.
Turn on. (=Talk to Stefan.)
Make money.
Cheers! :-)
