Impressive title right?
The following image is a "sneak peek" at the full implementation and the resultant system:
To see it come to fruition, we would first need to choose an appropriate tool/language to implement the task in.
If you've read any of my other blog entries, you may be guessing that I would lean towards a platform/language which packs a lot of punch in a small size (seeClojure is Cool in which I compare Java verbosity to Clojure and show how many Java tasks can be done in about 1/10th the lines of Clojure).
If you guessed I would choose Clojure, you were perhaps correct - I did choose and use it for a few different GUI application efforts in the past (a native Jira client https://github.com/ahungry/insectarium/ , a web browser https://github.com/ahungry/ahubu and a mapping application for the EverQuest game https://github.com/ahungry/p99/ ).
However, Clojure has a huge glaring fault (which is very obvious in hindsight) and that is the JVM. Either a boon or a bane depending on who you ask, community opinions on the like or disdain for JVM tooling is very polarized.
