Dream List

shis-ka-bob 6th Nov 2009

Many of your concerns are addressed by using processors
with scores of RISC cores at a reduced clock speed &
voltage. Power consumption drops dramatically but you
can get high performance overall. It would be nice to be
able to add and drop cores as needed. I would love to see
Erlang as a system language: high reliability and massive
concurrency is the future and Erlang is ideal for this world.
There are no PC's that approach the reliability of an
Ericsson telephone switch, and Erlang is a major part of
that reliability. Alternatively, each core could be the
equivalent of the Rockwell JEM1 and the system languages
could be Java & Scala. Scala has many of the advantages of
Erlang.

The UI should be Web Centric - HTML5 with Dojo Toolkit
can handle most GUI needs. Data and applications should
be shared with the ease of replicating CouchDb apps.
