* You mean like Visual Basic? Or like the musical instrument Reaktor? Or UML based java code generators? There are many other examples, just not on the top of my head. * I don't think you grok quite how intricate software has to be, in order to work and be performant. Unavoidable overhead builds as you climb up the abstraction levels, and make your code more general purpose. There's a reason that C is still pretty much everywhere - it's as close to the metal as you can get, without being entirely unhuman friendly: in other words, the diametric opposite of what you are suggesting. That's not to suggest that another abstraction layer isn't welcome necessarily, but that it's alway going to be a compromise between ease of use and performance. * By suggesting this could be a general purpose solution, with modules to export to different platforms, you have missed the fact that we have to hand write code to work in different browsers, let alone on different platforms. Still if you can make a reasonable demo, sure, it would be paradigm shifting - because you will have found a way around the above, where others have not.

Thanks for the feedback. * Yes code generators isn't a new thing. And this doesn't build what that app does unless it is just a straight business app. I wouldn't build an ad server or game engine with it but you could build the data in and out parts with it. This lets us programmers that do write C to write it and do less of the data shifting parts of the app. * As for the different platforms you are correct as for different browsers that problem has beens solved for the most part. It isn't an easy problem to solve but I think we are at a place to solve it now where we were not make in the Visual Basic, UML Java days. They also didn't solve it in quite the same way.
