Those are good questions, I should have written more about that in the article! I'll give some brief answers: Regarding the age of the converter: Even though it is new it is thought through. Check out the detailed documentation and tec

> You would still need the compiler to be written in progsbase too: is it? Currently no, but the progsbase language is very simple and contains only well-known constructs. So creating a compiler is very simple, it would take only a few d

The WMWare example is very interesting! Let me just note that the article does not propose a solution to VMWare's problem. It only notes that when instructions are removed, code using it stops working.

As I explained in another response, progsbase is very different from Haxe. Haxe is an independent language. If you use Haxe, then you depend on the Haxe compiler. Progsbase is completely in other languages, meaning the progsbase tools are o

Haxe is an independent programming language that can be compiled to other languages. Progsbase is very different: It is a language in other languages.

See the answer I gave maxxxxx above. Further, progsbase is not a brand new language, it is (mostly) a subset of most existing languages. The selection of the subset is new, but not the contents. This is why the progsbase repository contains

The reason the name "infrastructure instruction" was coined for this article is that it includes instructions such as "int", "rdtsc", which do not deal with only input and output, but deal with more complex thi

The argument was that a program written with proven, solid programming constructs, then it will last a long time. The example language is very simple: It contains things like: +, -, *, /, log, sin, cos, exp, functions, ifs and for loop

The removed instructions were binary-coded-decimal instructions, push / pop of CS/DS/ES/SS. These are minor instructions, but if your program used them, that alone means it no longer works, and that was the point.
