neutron_p writes "A group of researchers, led by Carnegie Mellon researchers, have developed a new set of software tools that may revolutionize the way computer code is written. They said they have created a new breed of software called "SPIRAL" that automatically generates code for signal-processing applications - applications that help make computers run faster and cheaper. "What SPIRAL does is permit users to develop high quality code for new and old applications automatically, say in 10 minutes or less, saving time, money and aggravation for end users""

They finally found the silver bullet? Wow... and that even after the entire world has been searching for it for 42 years and didn't find it, with techniques as powerful as RAD and OOP. Guess they're just a whole lot smarter than the entire rest of the world.
