ROBACUS ROADMAP

ROBACUS wants to be the ultimate computing environment. Its guiding principles are easiest interactions between the users and the computer, and among the users themselves. The former interaction is based on natural-language programming, and the latter, software robots, which are just digital emulations of user-computer interaction that can redo whatever tasks that are emulated.

The underlying technology of ROBACUS is an internal language by which all the computer internal software- and hardware- elements communicate with each other. This language is based on a six-lettered naming convention of files and variables. The user interface is, therefore, made filenameless and variblenameless so that it would be all in plain English.

ROBACUS, thus, approaches computing from a users' view point. It insists that all computer-related limitations to computing must be removed unconditionally. This means no learning curve and no unnecessary actions, such as pressing the Cntrl-key and double clicking the mouse. In fact ROBACUS is constructed in such a way that any newly conceived good idea to make lives easier for the users is implemented instantly, often risking crashing the whole system momentarily.

In the long run, this phenomenon translates to a reversed approach to the traditional direction in the development of the computer industry. Now, we are going to let the users dictate the look and feel of their own computing environment, the motto being: you can have anything you want, except what you are personally familiar with -- so the silly MS Windows habits have go.

Once the interface is decided, then we need to reevaluate, even redevelope, the software, mostly programming languages, that are best suited to support such an interface. Instead of the present practice of software engineers acting on their own to develope their own pet software tools, now they should just make sure that the minimum sufficient capabilities are made available to support the user interface based on natural-language programming and software robots. This, for one thing, would help to avoid the development of another Internet bubble.

Just as user interface dictates programming languages, so should programming language dictates operating system. What follows is operating system dictating the designs of chips and peripherals.

In fact it should be expected that ROBACUS would cause a redefinition of software and hardware. Software should be just human knowledge embodied in software robots. Hardware should be all the rest, including programming language and operating system, as well as the hardware hardwares. The natuaral-language programming program should be the borderline interface between software and hardware.

This is really what everyone wants. All the computer related technology should be hardwired into the chips and peripheral equipments. This would make it possible to free computer users to cultivate the vast human knowledge into functional tools of direct material production.
