Re: extensible programming systems

Excellent -
The article looks very good - I'll have a proper look over the weekend.

In some ways it seems like the future you are talking about has arrived:
"allow programmers to say what they want to, when they want to, as they 
want to."
That's my vision of o:XML, and with documentation, unit test, DbC and 
AOSD extensions it really is happening now.

The next step is to create a higher-level abstract language, serving as 
the platform for code transformations. It would integrate code from 
different types of languages (statically/dynamically typed, 
functional/imperative), providing a single format that could be 
targetted to a variety of platforms. Then we'll have real separation of 
code and implementation.
