Sounds neat. Until someone starts making home-brew biowarfare agents. |
Yeah, the first thing we need to teach those bio tech people is not to write spaghetti code (this was meant to be a joke, because that is what they actually have to do in the case of DNA). Cut and Paste, the idea is somewhat similar to object oriented programming in that high level objects (base pair groups) are used.
Now if we can derive a high level programming language from this, it might be possible to have bio tech developer software soon. I wonder what the programming language could be called then... maybe GOD-PL => Genetic Object Data Programming Language
