Interesting, but can you build a buggy website faster than me though???

Hahahahahaha :D

Actually, the next article will be titled something like "I can create software with 1.000.000 higher quality than you" - Of course, the idea being that the computer creates "perfect code" while the human is by the definition of the term imperfect ... ;)

Other kinds of software will still take you 234 billion times more right?

Yup! However, the capabilities of Hyperlambda is not possible to understand without understanding the concept of "meta programming". The idea of course being that it's a programming language that the computer can create, and human beings can easily use to create snippets of code who's purpose it is to produce snippets of code, etc, etc, etc ...

So measuring Hyperlambda according to what we do now completely misses the point. Ask yourself rather the following question; "HOW can we create web APIs?" Once you understand that, you'll see there is no upper limit to what we can achieve with Hyperlambda as a language ...

can it do everything I want it to do?

The Pareto principle kicks in at these speeds. If it solves 80% of the problem, and it does it 234 billion times faster, the things it doesn't solve becomes irrelevant ...

will I get stuck at some point trying to do something special?

Yup, but that's the same with any language, and/or platform.

how easily it is to maintain?

This is a super interesting question, which I partially give answers to here. The point being that you can create snippets of code that maintains snippets of code, reducing also maintenance (over time) by 234 billion times ...

will it be fast at the beggining but a hustle to maintain after a while?

Initially it will be like this, because you'll need to learn Hyperlambda to apply solutions to special problems. Over time, even at such places it will inevitably overcome traditional programming by a lot.

what level of security does it have?

I am tempted to answering "perfect" here, but that would obviously be an exaggeration, so I'll just give you the name of an article I'll probably create some time in the future when I've got the time ...

I can create a million times more secure software than you ... ;)

As to ...

BTW aista looks kinad cool, have not checked it out yet, because I have no time. Might check it eventually

Thank you, as to your "time issue", we have a fix for that :D

Well that's a nice answer!

Of course, the idea being that the computer creates "perfect code" while the human is by the definition of the term imperfect

Jajajajaja true that, code itself is not buggy we are xD

Yup, but that's the same with any language, and/or platform.

Fair enough :)

Thank you, as to your "time issue", we have a fix for that :D

Will give it a go at some point as I freaking hate building APIs... same repetitive shit over and over again...

Very interesting project, I will have to research hyperlambda as I have no clue what it is... have heard it but never actually tried it.

I find the point on the snippets to maintain other snippets quite interesting if it actually works!
