Speakeasy, Lightouch, Jazz is a fifth-generation programming language. I find only small hurdlesv when showing it to programmers. My challenge now is mainly getting stable shelter so I can compile these notes and hand them off to people.

I really can't work out what you're trying to say here. I can guess, but maybe it would be better if you wrote something more expository or discursive.

For example, is "Speakeasy, Lightouch, Jazz" intended to be a single noun? A single thing? Or is it a collection? A sequence?

What do you mean by "getting stable shelter"? Or to "hand off notes to people"?

Have you written something already? is there a link?

I'm assuming that comment was written by a bot, tbh.
Judging by that user's other comments, you're probably right.
As it happens, it wasn't, it's a real person.
Yes, I am real
I think he's referring to this: https://github.com/speakeasy-engine/lighttouch
Lighttouch is Speakeasy's Web Application Framework.

With Speakeasy I'm aiming at a complete solution stack.

> fifth-generation programming language

Does anyone, anywhere have an actual definition for this?

I thought the whole notion of "generations" was over and done with in the 1980s.
