Along with this, we need a better way to program robots. I program Fanuc i200D and that whole industry makes my blood boil. Want more than 200 variables in your program? Shell out $10k.

High level programming language to program robots with safety in mind would be amazing. RoboDK is the only one that is doing this and they still suck.

If you have arrays why don't you implement a turing machine and compiler to turing machine so that you can have more variables without shelling out? Or some other model of computation.
Does the Fanuc need to be constantly reprogrammed? Or is it a rare occurrence?
