-- Why such name ?
- - In short: it's just a number.
- - Many years ago inspired by the ideas of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forth_(programming_language)][Forth (programming
- language)]] I decided to create my own implementation [[http://www2.svjatoslav.eu/gitbrowse/fifth/doc/index.html][Fifth]]
- (computing/programming environment).
- - Then I realized I miss type safe object oriented capabilities. So
- I updated the name to Sixth and switched to Java.
-
-** Perfect data storage and computation engine

-I hate to choose between good things. Figuring out a way to combine
-below properties in one system would be beyond awesome.

-(That`s the high level overview, details are slowly being worked
-out...)

-*** Computation
-+ Lisp (programming language):
- + Almost no syntax.
- + Code and data intercangeable.
- + Easily self modifying.
- + (The big Lisp idea: https://dev.to/ericnormand/the-idea-of-lisp )
-
-+ Smalltalk (programming language / runtime):
- + Everything is object.
- + On the fly modifiable / reprogrammable.
- + Anything can be suspended/resumed from persistent storage on the
- fly.
- + [[http://esug.org/data/ESUG2015/3%20wednesday/1100-1130%20SQL%20Queries%20on%20Smalltalk%20Objects/SQL%20Queries%20in%20Smalltalk%20(James%20Foster).pdf][GemStone/S]]: Awesome feature list!
-
-+ Hadoop (computation system):
- + Many individual connected computers behave as one big
- computer. System is horizontally linearly scalable.
- + Programming abstraction and execution model that naturally divides
- problems te be solved in parallel and result easily combined.
- + Data is spread across nodes, automatic failover, built in
- resiliency.
- + Small pieces of code are automatically transferred to the node
- that contains relatively big data that needs processing (network
- efficiency).
