Welcome

Welcome to my new blog, if you'll bear with me as I learn this whole "blog" thing, maybe some fun stuff will come out of it.

For starters, I'm doing this because I want to share the work I've been doing on parallel programming languages, and computer science in general. It's a big risk because I say some rather outrageous things. At times, you'll probably want to laugh at me, and send me hate-comments. You're not alone ; ) -- maybe that means I shouldn't post this stuff, to protect myself, but maybe it means there's some good stuff here, and I should get over it, send it out, and see what happens. So here goes.

The first thing I want to talk about is a general theory of, well, everything -- including itself. I might as well start with the big guns ; ) All the rest follows from this theory -- the language designs have all been guided by the theory -- I started out telling people about it directly, and got, well, laughed at -- or boredom -- or blank stares and body language saying my victim wanted desperately to escape ; )

So, failing to convey the theory directly, I embarked on using it -- because I knew its power would produce some good things -- and then let people who loved the value of the languages come back and say "how the heck did you figure that out!?" And then guide then into the theory, now that they have a vested interest in learning it.

Frankly, it's been a mind-bender for those who have tried to wrap their heads around it so far -- I don't blame them for running away at all. Of course, the most devastating comment was "I don't see anything here" but that came mostly from not having the background -- if one doesn't know what the problem is, it's kinda hard to appreciate the solution.

So, with all that build-up -- next post will be the first installment!

Till then,

Sean
