Fault Tolerant Shell

Paul Howe writes "Roaming around my school's computer science webserver I ran across what struck me as a great (and very prescient) idea: a fault tolerant scripting language. This makes a lot of sense when programming in environments that are almost fundamentally unstable i.e. distributed systems etc. I'm not sure how active this project is, but its clear that this is an idea whose time has come. Fault Tolerant Shell."

Fault Tolerant Spanking The Monkey

Roaming around my school's locker rooms I ran across what struck me as a great (and very pubescent) idea: a fault tolerant spanking the monkey. This makes a lot of sense when masturbating in environments that are almost fundamentally unstable i.e. school toilets etc. I'm not sure how active this project is, but its clear that this is an idea whose time has cum.

Good that attracted attention.

I agree with most of the earlier posters that what is lacking today is good programming techniques. You won't need a fault tolerant shells if you programs are bullet proof. What often happens is these fault tolerant shells become an excuse to write shoddy programs.

Been tried

Fault tolerant languages, have been tried, and never found to be a food idea. Computer languages are very precise for a reason - What if it reads "der *.*" as "del *.*" not "dir *.*"???
