Yes, and I don't really. An interesting one that has been around for a few years -- that can be used by the general public, children, etc. -- is NetLogo (a takeoff from StarLogo). There is also a StarLogo Nova that is worth looking at.
But these are not really general simulation languages of the kind we need in 2016 and beyond ...
- DigitalJack 10y agoI need to read what you've said regarding simulations and pseudotime, but I've been wondering if this is along the same lines has as an HDL like VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog. I do chip implementations in those languages, which of course involves simulation and a time concept. I get the idea that is not the sort of simulation you mean, but I'm not sure. The other thought I had was simulation more in the SPICE sense that iterate toward a solution in steps. Any chance you could briefly clarify, and/or toss out a resource that points in the right direction?
- alankay1 10y agoWhat would a simulation of an epidemic look like? Or a simulation of ants finding food via pheromone trails. Or simulation of dye diffusing in water? Or a simulation of an object being dropped? Etc
- DigitalJack 10y agoCellular automata comes to mind. I'll think on it. This AMA has really been neat, thanks so much for doing it.
