    1 Vision - A tool to amplify human ability

    -
    -

    -Makes lots of complex data intuitive to:
    -  - explore, understand
    -  - manipulate and compute on
    -
    -by extensively relying on:
    -  - realtime 3D graphics with immediate feedback loop
    -  - flexible and distributed computation and data storage
    +

    +A tool, that provides powerful, extensible, adaptable, hackable, easy +to use, general purpose computing environment for working with +knowledge.

    +

    +See extensible, programmable computing environment examples. +

    + +

    +I would like to create better general purpose computing environment +with the following priorities: +

    + +
      +
    • Makes data and insights easy to discover, understand, manipulate, +transform and visualize.
    • + +
    • +Workflow and user interface is intuitive, visual, realtime, +3D-first. +

    • GNU Emacs - At the heart, Emacs is text editor on top of Lisp +runtime. Data storage and computation can be done in Lisp. Lisp is +on itself programmable programming language where new paradigms can +be added dynamically. Domain specific languages to fit particular +problem could be developed as needed and Emacs extended to support +those languages. Emacs provides text buffers that can be used to +build user interfaces. So you can customize Emacs and Lisp to fit +any problem domain.
    • + +
    • Eclipse IDE - In essence OSGi platform with a text +editor. Computation done in java. Eclipse provides integration, +runtime and GUI platform. One can develop Eclipse plugins to add +necessary logic and visual parts to fit any problem. (IntelliJ and +NetBeans have similar properties)
    • + +
    • IBM Notes/Domino - Custom database engine, software development +platform, GUI editor, computation can be done in Java and +LotusScript. You can build distributed business applications on it +as a platform.
    • + +
    • SAP ABAP - Custom database engine, runtime, GUI platform, +development environment and programming language. Is being used as a +platform to build business applications with any logic and UI.
    • + +
    • Microsoft Access - Database management system that combines +relational database engine with a graphical user interface and +software-development tools.

      • Many years ago inspired by the ideas of Forth (programming -language) I decided to create my own implementation 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. -
