The enemy is ambiguity. To avoid ambiguity, you need to be explicit. Being explicit is expensive. Thought prediction (auto-completion) is the solution.

We need a computer-assisted predicate-oriented language. This will become the only UI we need.

Beautifully succinct and widely applicable. It is a gem, thank you.

How is this better than hooking into bash-completion? I don't see this avoiding ambiguity.
- Text isn't sufficient to a rich interface.

- Auto-completion is best when you start with arguments (as opposed to a function or predicate).

I have been wanting to build this for years. We should chat!
My very existence is defined by this vision. Let's talk.
