Intentsoft is supposed to release something "soon". Of course, you need
sophisticated IDE support for that.

Hi all,
I've read a fair bit about Intensional Programming, but I'd never seen
Microsoft's demo system working - until today. The video has a retro
feel, like a future that never happened or the year 2001 in the
rear-view mirror:
Part 1 : http://youtube.com/watch?v=tSnnfUj1XCQ
Part 2 : http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZZDwB4-DPXE&feature=related
There are some interesting things here:
Introducing new syntax / semantics as part of the system. Trivial
switching of syntaxes / layout. Textual and visual representations.
Code evolution by transformation. _A_ model of editing by
transformation - I'm sure those are going to be contentious!
One tangential idea I quite like is that of tidying up and moving on
legacy code bases. They can parse the source extract low level
'intentions' and then reprocess those abstractions en mass to some
higher level.
Also interesting to note how much we sort of have right now in current
refactoring editors.
And the awful presentation - bless - is she a member of a yacht club?!
