Now is the time for a new programming paradigm. Previous generations of languages were called imperative, object-oriented, and then functional. The next generation of languages is now possible: Declarative languages, which have almost no bugs, and offer a 10:1 reduction in total lifecycle cost. For many graphical interactive or client/server applications, you can replace the entire development stack with one relatively simple tool.

The Beads language compiler is now available, free. It supports both Macintosh and Windows OS (sorry, no Linux yet). Please download the SDK, unzip it, and read the READ ME file to get started. There is a YouTube video showing how to get started for Macintosh or Windows. Linux development can be done using Wine to create a virtual Windows under Linux.

1) Provide an alternative to Excel for business modeling and automation. 2) Make it easier for programs to be improved by someone other than the original author. 3) Provide a system that protects against programmer errors to the extent possible 4) Offer a notation that is independent of hardware and operating systems, so that programs will last for decades.
