Hmm. Definitely I will do some more reading. Thanks for the experimentation.

I was thinking about a way to state business rules for a system I'm building now, but to be honest I always wondered when we would get to the point that programming looked more like talking to the "Smart Girl" spaceship Gay Deceiver in Robert A. Heinlein's The Number of the Beast. Between Cyc and Perl6 we seem to be getting closer..

"Program, Gay. Add running news retrieval. Area, Arizona Strip north of Grand Canyon plus Utah . Persons: all persons listed in current running news retrieval programs plus rangers, Federal rangers, forest rangers, park rangers, state rangers. End of added program."

The above story uses a verbally programmed autopilot a bit smarter than what we have now, but English constructs like verb-object-prepositional_phrase-conditional_clause might be possible with Perl 6.. Anyway thank you very much and I will certainly do some more reading on it.
