Har!

So it's vaporware huh? Expensive vaporware: "However a typical entry-level configuration of Invention Machine Goldfire starts at about $100K."

oh no, it's actually a product with a lot of capabilities. But to really be effective you have to allow it access to EVERYTHING in your business. NOBODY cooperates with projects like that. By the time you get that much data, it's every group for themselves, so nobody shares anything. The other problem with the tool is patent searching - absolutely no good for an engineering organization that requires plausible deniability concerning competitor, or prior art when being deposed during patent litigation.

So, it's a lot of money for a huge tool that you can never seem to get implemented unless it's specific types of businesses. Not a universal solution by any means, although a lot of their results are suprising.

Here at the 'ol saltmine we use PTC's stuff for that, their CAD software is pretty good but the rest of it is mostly bloated fluffware: http://www.ptc.com/product

Can You Ride Your Meta Compiler ?

According to TypeScript Language Specification, Version 1.6, August, 2015, in Microsoft they guess that you can
and TypeScript actually aims to fix issues in JavaScript by a meta-compiling technique

Oh goody, another platform built on top of Javascript. That shouldn't be irritatingly slow or crashy at all .

~6 years after parenscript , msft better get behind the 8ball.

Say what you will about Javascript but Is it any coincidence that within a year of Brendan Eich fleeing the Mozilla Corporation firefox has become so buggy as to be essentially unusable? No it is not.

If I were Brendan I would call that poetic justice...

so we have the prove that

Hell actually exists

CeLeBrAtIoN!
Happy Hell Party Reloaded

That is one happenin' hot spot!

I like how the guys are completely different whilest the girls are nearly identical.

The Universe comes in pills of knowledge and fun

the Science still ignores where Hell is located, is it on the Earth planet ? is it a planet ? Inside the Solar System ? Outside ? On the Orion's Belt ? On Lalande 21185 ? Who knows ? Who cares, the Science actually knows (perhaps just learned) that Uranus has a moon called "Oberon", while byte magazine has an interesting article about the "Oberon" language, which is not only a language, it's also an operating system, an fpga project, a pair of books, and a funny workstation, perhaps a space ship, written by a pair of aliens, and the circle has just ended

You're not looking hard enough chap

Move your eyes away from the breasts!

Regardless, I'm sure they will all regret it in the morning..

oh my duck, discovered in 1787 by the British astronomer, Sir William Herschel (who also discovered Uranus), and investigated by Voyager 2 in 1986, " OH buh ron " was named after the King of the Fairies and husband of Titania in Shakespeare's Midsummer-Night's Dream : we have just squared the circle

I'm pretty sure it's not very hot on Oberon, since it has no atmosphere. I think you could make a pretty good case for Jupiter though, it's known to be pretty toasty there...

The demon on the right had the right attitude; have a burger!

The girls really don't have any other characteristics other than their breasts.

Dante (Alighieri) wrote that "Hell is frozen", like ice, around Lucifer
oh, might I have to change the hell-party manifesto (posted above)?

good question, the state or condition of the answer is hard to say ...
in the meantime I am uploading the free book " Project Oberon "
on my Kindle Paper White


no doubt the Oberon-language is an interesting extension of "modula/2"
which sounds very very good
