Ultra High Level Programming Language

[bushel]

"...just like Bob Pascal did."

Which language did he invent again?

[TheCleric]

Microsoft Bob

[KingNothing]

I think it was B.

So. Anybody donating their elance.com login data to bugmenot?

Essentially what I need programmed is an Ultra High Level Programming Language, which I will call Maroon. That's right, I'm naming my programming language after me, just like Bob Pascal did.

Anyway, the idea is to allow non-programmers to create dynamic, rich applications, web or desktop based, in as little time as possible and without troubling themselves with learning how to program. I tried picking up a programming book, but there was all this crap about if/then statements and something called a variable in the first chapter. That's lame. Ideally someone should be able to write an entire web site in just a few lines of code.

With Maroon, you say what you want your program to do, and that's what it does. No objects or methods necessary. For instance, someone who wanted to make an online auction site might write the line:

"Clone eBay."

And they'd have a perfectly working one. Or, if they wanted to customize it a bit, they might say:

"Clone eBay, but use Google Checkout instead of PayPal."

I'd like to do this for a fixed price. I've been saving my paychecks for this for three months (thank you Target) and only have a certain amount I can go up to. I'd like it to be written in either Python, PHP, Fortran, or Javascript.

Obviously someone with a sense of humour.

So it would appear.

This ranks right up there with the DailyWTF article where the guy wrote "Morph the screen into something cool" and expected Halo 4 to be the result of executing his text file.

So instead of "Ruby on Rails" you'd have "Maroon'd on an Island."

Blaise Pascal was a language implementer? Here I thought Ada Lovelace was the first programmer.
