You're new here, eh?

If it were that easy, don't you think it might have been done already?

Here's a hint...

There's this thing about scale (and I'll ignore code reliability, non-
proneness to instability, FPs, etc) that your formulation skips over so 
simply.  You see, human language is (well, "can be") so cunningly, 
deceptively compressive.  It's monstrously trivial and non-time-
consuming to write something like:

Please go ahead.

You (and however many monkeys) go and do that (oh, and BTW, the 
licensing model is not actually irrelevant here -- as you come to 
realize how complex actually doing that is, and the money you could 
make doing a non-OSS-licensed version of something extremely distant 
from that but still actually useful to the otherwise mostly clueless 
(aka "the great unwashed") computer users...  Oh, sorry, I forgot you 
were idealizing at a totally reality-divorced level!!!  Just ignore a 
grizzled old fart like me who knows how shite actually works...).
