hmmm, I prefer the unix shell because it's a universal language, one console to accomplish all things, from a keyboard. no pesky mouse or searching through menus. I realize it is difficult for novices to learn, and may take 2 years of emersion to become fluent, much as is the case with human languages. that's why I'm working on SPEL Speakable Programming for Every Language. where can use a programming langauge based on human language to use the computer, and also communicate to other humans, regardless of language background. since SPEL has a front-end for each (human) language, and can do machine translation between languages. ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
