Thanks for feedback!

raminonstuffon We dislike UML and visual stuff. I want to make something different/better

I don't have a website to show it off yet, sorry but watch that video and read my comments here before leaving feedback. Feedback here is always welcome.

My problem: UML stuff and Data-flow programming as in Unreal's Blueprint are useless. Aspect oriented programming was also kind of messy and so ended up nowhere.

My Answer: I want to make a difference. Have you ever used a GUI app for Git? Well, why can't we represent those patches as "parameterised" visual components or blocks and eliminate the need for them being "sequential"!?

This is exactly what I am suggesting in http://www.TaggedProgramming.com and exactly what I want to create with SourceCreator.

At this stage, it's just a simple template based text processor. It plugs bits of code into other bits of code - in a dumb way. But I want to make a clever one in Clang/LLVM as well.

This is like a little GUI and Text based wizard to help us deal with some stuff quicker and to focus more on what matters.

What do you think?

raminonstuffon Microsoft is bringing Windows 10, with desktop app support, to ARM chipsets

You know what I don't get is why on Earth do game publishers and console manufacturers like Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo get in the way of people's creativity. This arcane idea of make a big huge console and filter the hell out of content on it is like prehistoric now. Ok, yo don't want spam, virus or stuff like that but I don't get why these companies don't just let go. Why make yourself a bottleneck!? Look at Google's ranking method. The more a page is liked the higher it appears when doing a search. Wouldn't it be funny if Google said, no "submit" your pages to us and we will review which ones should be listed on our search engine!? That's what these old school console ecosystems are doing. Make a 100% open ecosystem, make it not depend on a particular hardware or operating system and let people create. It's like you know depending on hardware is a limiting factor, you know depending on a particular OS is a limiting factor, you know manual filtering of content is a limiting factor. What do people want!? As a player I want a game streaming service, as a developer I want a multiplayer networking service to build my game on. The rest is history... Why not just build the infrastructure, relief yourself from all that stuff like H/W, O/S, etc. (make it someone else's pain). Why!?

I am waiting to see the MacBook Pro run on ARM with 10x more battery life :)

Wow I just did a quick search here and found zero references to the word "Internet"! Nobody mentions the IoT.

Internet of Things is and will be running on ARM CPUs, ARM GPUs, ARM Display, ARM Video, etc. Not having your major OS on ARM means you are behind Android, behind iOS, behind Linux, behind IoT and basically behind the world...

Have you seen Windows 10 IoT Core? https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot

Some companies have already been making ARM microprocessors for Windows 10 IoT core for a while now.

This one for example runs it: https://www.pine64.org/?page_id=3707
