iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Or if it is just going to be customization-intensive I may operate from India itself. Nevertheless, I have really high hopes for this language I am building, which is going to make solving a class of business-problems easier.

My "solution" is not just the programming language. It is what that can be built using that language. I will build an entire ecosystem around my business. If possible I will have my headquarters in Canada or a EU country, if my product really does have a market.

Once I complete my product, I will launch from India. When it receives traction, I will discover ways to register companies in Canada, US and a EU country, to handle different jurisdiction and provide my services to customers in those countries.

Quick intro about me: I am building a programming language. It has something no other language has. Think of it as something similar to Salesforce Apex but it is vastly different from Salesforce Apex. For now, my language's true innovation is confidential, but I will reveal it after I launch.

People have the tendency to adapt rapidly. This is no longer obvious to us because we had peace for several decades. The ruling class will deeply regret awakening that part of humanity. Those with power are playing with something extremely dangerous: ordinary people's perception of the reality.

000

Our perception of how smart or stupid people are is driven by the information we consume. And that information comes from recommendation systems optimized to maximize ad revenue. Even in their absence, paid politically motivated posts and comments skew the perception of what the norm really is.

The greater risk is they might find a way to send ordinary people to war and die for their leader's ego, political and business goals, in a foreign land.

It goes against them to have to sacrifice their own comfort, power and privilege for anything. Therefore, the world will always reach a compromise and turn to diplomacy.

100

The rich and powerful like where they are and understand that they are more privileged than the rest of the world. They won't lose that for any reason. They may want more of it, although more of it won't change their subjective experience of life except raise them in the status ladder.

There will be a significant push back from those people who directly control the initiation or use of nukes. Also, this is more like a "self destruct" button and everyone understands that. They understand that starting the war will be the end of their comfort, even if they survive.

200

Don't worry. Nuclear apocalypse will never happen. I can guarantee that. My reasoning for this is simple: People who have the power to initiate such a war are not same as the people who would execute such orders.

100

That's actually a really good point. Just because they don't include God it doesn't mean they are not being religious. Also we must not dismiss conspiracy theories by default. We must try to understand why they are wrong. Education should be about teaching people to think and reason.

That said, I am still working on the execution engine and defining the type system took a lot of time (We need a full type system at the execution engine itself if we want to introduce reflection and exceptions. Notice that exceptions depend on type information to match with the right object)

000

Once my language is done I'll use that for everything. And when it's missing something, I will have the freedom to fix that by either adding a new instruction or by extending its grammar in addition to the usual ways. This gives us unbelievable Lisp-like freedom over creating abstractions.

100

If parts of the program run too slow we can fix that by offloading them to methods implemented in Go; or other languages when they can be compiled to a .so file (dynamically linked library). I'm also planning to introduce something no other language has at the execution engine's level.
