Hi,
This is my first email to Haskell.org, and am
very much a Haskell newbie.
I have been fighting with Prolog and Smalltalk
devotees for so many years: each one seeming to treat the other as the "arch"
enemy.
Perhaps I can get better response from the Haskell
community.
I have been, for the last ten years, acting
upperCase(philosophical) and lowerCase (technical) researcher/consultant
to Heyile Pty Ltd. in Sydney Australia.
The purpose of the Ripose
Technology is to provide the Conceptual missing link that has,
for years evaded Smalltalk and Prolog application designers ie provision of
Industriel strength, Enterprise Wide
Definition and Business Wide
(software) Definitions.
The EWD seemed always to be a consensus, an
agreement to fail. Every application had to be carefully hand crafted by a
language programmer, acting for the business in accordance with what
the programmer thought the entepreneur needed. Where is the industrial
strength? Metaphysics seemed all they have to fall back on.
When I met this guy, Richter, in 1992 I saw
something mind bogglingly different in the way he designed business application:
in hours rather than years and accurate.
I agreed to use him and his technique to design for
himself, free of charge, his own Business
(Ripose Pty Ltd) and Enterprise (Ripose.Foundation) as proof of
the Ripose concept, in return for the important front end: the Conceptual
Pre-processor. This effectivily becomes free of
charge to the design community.
The Ripose Foundation (still only and idea) needs
good disciplined competent programmers who do not feel insulted if they are
required to program to strict definition. In short no hackers.
The toolset is currently limited by the tools he
was compelled to use for the last ten years: Omnis.
I believe that the free bit could
be redone in Haskell. The rewards are limited only by the
imagination.
Am I barking up the wrong tree?

Please proceed to the price list to see the free bits. In my opinion the most
important attributes.

Thanks for your response. Omnis Studio is only my suggestion because I know the product fairly well and the Caspar (computer assisted strategic planning and reasoning) engine is the robust client server version currently running very well at the moment. The data base design behind Caspar is probably even more important than the code itself. Hence it does not matter to me whether the final eCaspar is written in Omnis Studio or anything else. If the response times of eCaspar are better than or even comparable to Caspar, I would have no hesitation to have Caspar replaced by eCaspar. This would then obviate the need to maintain two sets of code. The reason behind this statement is that I have still not successfully found a way to do a simple <a href> in the Omnis Studio Web based product. If this is not achieved then my whole strategy of delivering eCaspar in Omnis Studio, is in jeopardy. Quite frankly I do not really see the need to web enable Caspar as Caspar is probably more efficient and effective in its client server form than it will be if it was web enabled. Just to satisfy a few people who like the look and feel of a program running in a web browser does not appear to be a very sound strategy. They will still have to learn how to use the product and then decide to use our services! The main benefit of using Ripose and Caspar is to assist an entrepreneur rapidly design their ideal world and then test whether or not the idea will 'fly'. This must be done before investing any more of their or someone else's (business person's) hard earned money. Anyone interested in 'opportunism' will shy away from using Ripose and hence Caspar. Ripose achieves this benefit by providing the steps a Ripose architect has to take in order to clarify the idea/dream/thinking of the initiator/entrepreneur and thus produce/develop the ideal world and then test the idea. It does this by creating a hierarchy of objects and getting the entrepreneur, business person, technical person and process worker to clarify the following:
Finally we are now in a position for
SQL and the languages to begin to 'strut their stuff'
The Ripose technique and Caspar almost guarantee that the three deliverables will be delivered in less than 3 months. The time frame depends on the number of people in the enterprise
I do not see how any other product on the market
delivers the same benefit as Ripose and Caspar!
To build the Ripose enterprise (both the dot com and dot org sides) is no longer solely my responsibility. We need adult human beings to assist us. Hope this helps clear more of the mist. Regards Charles Richter Voice (02) 8900
