JavaX
is the new Java.

Java is...

• too verbose
• not reflective enough
• not very manageable
• split! (desktop vs Android)

But!

• Java is a GREAT virtual machine.
• Super-optimized
• Runs everywhere
• Great for super-huge programs.

How to improve Java?

• Let's make a "learning" language.

JavaX, medium-level

• It's what we have today.
• It's like Java, just encourages always having a single source file
• Translators allow new syntax.
• A translator is a simple Java(X) program.
  • reads from input/main.java
  • writes to output/main.java
• ...done!

We like "boilerplate"

• But only 10 characters of it!
• ...per source file :)

Invoking translators

!747

m {
  p {
    print("Hello world!");
  }
}

JavaX, high level

• The one we're making.
• All translations are automatic
• An algorithm learns which translators to invoke
   
• JavaX will think about itself!

Solving the distribution problem

• Every program has a global ID
• Just call the ID to download & invoke the program!
• A wayback machine is there to allow execution of older code

The Bot Approach

• Make little programs that talk. (=speak English!)
• Every program has a distinct purpose
• Programs can inspect each other.
• Programs can inject code into each other's VMs.
• Programs can MOVE from VM to VM.
• Even from real machine to real machine!

Persistence is free

• It requires like 2 code lines to persist a variable in JavaX
• Automatic persistence for complex structures
• We really need persistence to go out of the way to focus on actual logic!

Generating code from examples

• We can also do that.
• Powerful solvers take just 2 or 3 input/output examples
• ...and generate actual Java code.

Bridging Java and Android

• Android, the almost-Java-machine
• Hitherto it required great effort to make an app
• It even costs $25!
• Using the JavaX app, it costs nothing anymore.
• And, of course, the code is way simpler
• It is now as close to desktop code as possible (including print statements!)

AI applied to itself

• TinyBrain ties the knot
• AI programming is too hard
• We want to write lots of small programs which improve each other
• Thus we need AI to generate AI
• JavaX medium level is the basis for making the high level A.I. that we want.

Investor Talks

• HackerUnit.com is talking to me
• They want to raise 1 million $
• Will it work?
• JetBrains should really give me money - but will they?
  
  Cheers :)
