Self-writing software program Explanation: Charles Simonyi—the Hungarian-born engineer who built the first WYSIWYG word processor at Xerox PARC and later oversaw the development of Excel and Word as one of the first employees at Microsoft—has founded his own company, hoping to reinvent the Byzantine world of computer programming. His company, Intentional Software, aims to give almost everyone the means to build elaborate apps. You simply tell your computer what you intend to build, and the computer does the rest. "It is clear that the precise recording and editing of human intentions in a machine-processable form is a necessary step to improvements in the building of software," says Simonyi. He calls the idea self-writing software. In much the same way that Excel adds a column of numbers, Intentional's tools will fashion your free-form descriptions into a working app. https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1610347,00.asp |
