"For instance, someone who wanted to make an online auction site might write the line 'Clone eBay.'"

Maybe I'm missing a self-referrential joke here, but this sounds exactly like what elance is designed to do. Maybe elance.com is the ultra high level programming language.


Too bad you haven't gotten any bidders like this:

"Hi. I can do this for you next week, when I plan on taking a break from a nonotech based / atomic fission driven search engine thats going to make larry page wet his pants. 6 days to code, 1 to rest. It will be written from scratch and completely original in design, so don't worry about copyright bs. I plan to write the entire OS in C, and blindfolded, if its all the same to you. 100% secure will not be a problem either...In fact the OS will be designed to leverage jedi mind tricks to kill anyone that even thinks about breaking in. (i was thinking maybe make them chop off their feet and jump up and down until their empty would be fair). Anyways, I'm gonna smoke some more crack, maybe you should do the same. Thanks!"

Which came in reply to "I need someone to program me a new OS (Operasting System)" on getacoder.com: http://www.getacoder.com/projects/operating_system_42879.htm...


Lol. I just wrote the blog entry about this. How the hell did you find it?


Just deliver lisp, and take the money and run...


You know...the guy did say he's accepting a Javascript implementation...

Doesn't mean you can't give him lisp - he won't know the difference...
