Researchers Develop New Tool For Writing Code

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""

Researchers Develop New Fool For Writing Code

We have several prototypes of these fools. They are called J2EE-programemrs.

When someone says "I want a programming language in which I need only say what I wish done," give him a lollipop.

ummm...its called spiral.

I see..

I hear what you're saying... and it sounds like "buzzword, buzzword, buzzword, buzzword, buzzword, buzzword"

This is similar to a new software tool I've been working on, that may revolutionize the way software projects are badly managed. This new breed of tool, called "DEATH SPIRAL", automatically generates unrealistic deadlines, schedules in exponentially increasing overtime, and adds random pieces of vague, ill-conceived functionality to effect feature creep and cost overruns. This frees up managers' time to concentrate on fostering the more personal, human aspects of the project -- low morale, burnout, and turnover.
