In short, ANI seeks to break out of the shackles of imperative programming -- a stale paradigm which for four decades has produced hundreds of clones of the same fundamental feature set, none of which offer intuitive hands-off concurrency, and differing only in what lengths they go to to sugar-coat the embarrassing truth that they're all just increasingly high-level assemblers at heart;
Haha. The entire point of programming is to tell the hardware what to do. Any programming language that is not 'high-level assembly' has severe leaky-abstraction problems. The reason C and C++ still enjoy so much success despite limited syntax is that they stay true to the hardware and don't force another layer of abstraction on you.
