# Imaginary Programming
Shane Mulligan
Live Q&A: <https://bbb.emacsverse.org/b/ban-py3-rcg-ugx>
[[!inline pages="internal(2021/info/imaginary-schedule)" raw="yes"]]
Imaginary Programming (IP) is both methodology and paradigm. It is an
extension of literate programming and a way of creating software without
the use of imperative, functional or even declarative code. Yet IP employs
all disciplines to achieve the miraculous. The only contingency is on one
or more language models, known as foundation models. The real value of IP
is not found by abandoning sound logic altogether, but in weaving the real
with the imaginary. The future of imaginary programming is one in which
almost all of computing is inferred. I have built a suite of tools based on
emacs for interfacing real programming languages with imaginary ones; all
of this in order to demonstrate what I mean; a ‘complex’ terminal that lets
you imagine what happens no matter how nested you are within interpreters,
an example-oriented language, a file format that encodes the provenance of
text and a library for imaginary functional programming primitives called
iLambda. It is important to recognise IP because, for lack of a better
term, it has far-reaching implications for intellectual property and the
GPL. Please keep an open mind.
