We had developed such kind of system many years ago (at least in solving the tedious and error-prone problems). It may not solve all the problems they are trying to solve, but its core part is a practical (because we had zero grant) and managable system that is "production" ready (internally) beacuse it was used to generate most of the relational data systems underlying our products and services for years, published or not. It's not realy "simple" or "easy", that's not our target, but a quite flexible meta-programming system and a useful tool to us, at least ...

If it produces random garbage, fails to interpret keywords in context, etc., it can be called MSDNII.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Read the whole article and quickly realized it's just more bullshit. The giveaway was "developers can also express their intents through means such as commands spoken in natural language". Uh, yeah, right that always works.
As for that actual practical stuff the article mentions, it's already being done.
I supposes kudos should be given to the con artists who managed to get $9 million for this nonsense.

With the appropriate tools and environments, developers can take the first step forward in safeguarding app security Why did no one think of that before?

Or maybe if they were just given some time to do some investigation. Security is overhead.

Happy birthday, you old rascal, you. Thirty-five years ago today you came into world with a compact design and a $1,565 price tag, at time when IBM’s entry-level “microcomputer” run $90,000 and looked more like a washer and dryer set. It's platform: a floppy in every bay

Google appears to be working on a new unified operating system, codenamed Fuchsia OS that will work across computers, phones, tablets, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. #FF00FF FTW?
It's amazing how many words can be written about an almost empty repository

There are interesting people working on the project, is about all we can really assume for now. With no announcement and little documentation, the rest is all filler.

Isn't fuchsia the color of puke? Coincidence?

I dunno. If my puke were fuchsia, I'd be heading to a doctor.

In a bit of perceptive role reversal, a new study has place Microsoft at the top of its list of companies with the most innovative workforce in the tech sector. They hide it well

Not too much of a surprise if you think of things like Kinnect or the astonishing AI work being done out of Cambridge.

You have to be adventurous to do what Microsoft done with W10 and not run and hide...

I'm tempted to make a snarky remark, but based on how mundane Facebook is and how jumbled Android is, they may have a point.

A group of PhD students from the MIT Media Lab and researchers from Microsoft Research have come up with the ultimate wearable: a temporary tattoo that can turn into a touchpad, remotely control your smartphone, or share data using NFC. "Have we lost the touch that does so much"

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
