Re: Mad idea: Programming language based on RDF

Hi,

Well, it has been done many times before in localised and modelled ways,
the problem really is what interface we would use in order to make it work
for all.

I once defined an RDF language in Topic Maps. :) Good time, good times.

I think a programming language that is constructed around graphs would
suffice, but I haven't really seen much that impresses me yet. R can be an
interesting avenue, and probably some Python magic is worth looking into,
but when it comes down to it, I'd like to see a programming language that
isn't based around defining types and arrays or objects, some 5th
generation stuff for the high level mixing and constraining of data and
flows. But then, how do we interface into that?

I suspect there needs to be some kind of new paradigm in working with timed
graphs, probably some IDE of sorts, but then, not sure where it would come
from.


Cheers,

Alex
