Phylogenetic flow programming (ΦFP)

A programming language that doesn't change
the way you think is not worth learning.

Principle

Rather than an object right now it is fundamental to be able to leverage the history of that object and in a coherent and efficient manner. Phylogenetic flow programming aims at doing so by providing a structuring phylogeny atom (object as well as function) which is part of a larger program in which this atom is nothing but an information flow.

Minimal Properties

Warning based on Wikipedia:Duck typing without functions used on it, does it actually make it a "proper" atom?

Checks

Specifications

Typing

Specificities

Do not forget the limitations and thus the usages which will probably not be "economically" interesting/efficient.

Implementations

none as of end of July 2010

Consider doing a "paper" version (possibly post-its) with printed sheets with the default structure of a phylogenetic flow atom, an entire program, etc... to use it without a computer.

  1. for each part of the SoftwareStack (including programming language), find the existing component with
    1. most of the hardest to implement foundations requirements
    2. the biggest ability to easily be modified
    3. the community building the more efficiently manipulate the foundations

Including Wikipedia:Programming paradigm and its Wikipedia:Template:Programming paradigms.
