October's Upcoming Meeting http://www.computersociety.org
Inventing the Next Business Programming Language
with Richard A. Green
Wednesday, October 06th, 2010 @ 6pm
Abstract:
How does one design a programming language for business processing?
Why are today's popular languages (Java, Python, C++, COBOL, .) poorly matched
to today's environment?
Our tools shape our thinking about solutions.
How might our tools be getting in the way of better thinking?
A programming language cannot be understood separately from its run-time
platform. Nor can it be understood separately from its people.
Programmers create their own culture and that, more than anything else,
channels the evolution of the language.
To demonstrate how these principles apply, Richard reviews Hum, a business
programming language designed for today's environment with some extensions
for future user interfaces.
Hum enables a kind of natural language syntax.
It delegates persistence, messaging, fuzzy-arithmetic, and accounting to the
run-time

Hmm, TS, do you think that maybe you could create an item devoted to
Ann Arbor Computer Society meeting announcements and post these
messages there, instead of creating a new item for each announcement?
