-- 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

- - Then I realized I miss type safe object oriented capabilities. So
- I updated the name to Sixth and switched to Java.

+* Computation ideas
++ Program - stored instructions for execution by computer.
-*** 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 )
++ Process - Currently running program.
+ + Process is self contained. Has a full copy of program code and
+ every dependent library.
-+ 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!
+ + Memory used by processes is content addressed/deduplicated at
+ low level in the system.
-+ 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).
+ + This allows:
+ + Upgrading software installed in the system without breaking
+ already running processes.
+ + Easier migration of running processes between physical
+ computers.
-* Current status
-+ Formulated high-level [[id:1f4e1c17-d25f-4d92-aa9b-5785f1d86f4f][vision / goal]].
+ + Possibility to suspend/resume arbitrary processes to permament
+ storage.
-+ In the process of implementing some of building blocks:
- - [[http://www2.svjatoslav.eu/gitbrowse/sixth-data/doc/index.html][Data storage engine.]]
+ + Possibility checkpoint/revert running process.

- - [[http://www2.svjatoslav.eu/gitbrowse/sixth-3d-demos/doc/index.html][3D engine demos]]
