Language of the future

[DontMissTheBus]

True... but is it more efficient than writing code for nontrivally complex operations?

Moreover, I'm pretty sure natural language cannot be completely free of ambiguity from context (double negatives, for example - parse it literally or idiomatically?) - so why bother for things that need to be instructed without ambiguity?

Of course, we already have natural language processor for non critical applications (sirii)

Quote from loufah:

Natural language can be disambiguated if you build in enough knowledge of the context. See IBM's Watson, which could understand Jeopardy clues.

The person you replied to stated, correctly, that a natural language cannot be used as a computer language.

In regards to Watson, it's not a computer language, and it is considerably different from what you've described:

D for another C language worth looking into (C done right)
E for Eiffel - this is the language of the Future. Even MS implemented some ideas into their next generation .Net crap.

Interesting new languages.
By the way, was curious over this link, http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/images/icons/icon10.gif, which came out to be . So, am curious as to how you got this url for the icon? Thanks

I was trying to put a smile icon like you did by dragging icons into the body of this message - but that is what this forums' program produced instead.
