I had enjoyed programming since I was 10 years old. By 2016 I was programming an Android App with Google's shit and I hated my life. Apple's shit was more infuriating. Don't get me started with the embarrassment known as the "Javascript ecosystem". FUBS is a software development system that made me like programming again.
It will continue to be a private work in progress for many more months. It will be made public and open source when it is ready:

* It must be [self hosted](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-hosting_(compilers)) on bare metal with nothing written in another language (no Linux, no LLVM, no gnu, not even legacy text editors).
* It must be self hosted on its own source code repository.
* It must be be under a new open source license that ensures our core principal is not violated by other programmers' forks.
* It must be be under a new open code license that ensures our core principal is not violated by other programmers' forks.
We have an almost pathological focus on minimalism. We want the functionality of any modern IDE with only 100,000 lines of code running on bare metal.
## Core Principles (roughly in order of importance)
1. Have a unified execution and authoring environment. Any program must also provide the tool with which it was created and allow itself to be modified. We endeavor to make it as frictionless as possible for a user of a program to understand or modify it. **Anyone using a program can become its programmer within seconds.** We will insist on this via our open source license.

1. Anyone can code. Make it easy for anyone to modify any part of the system. Imposing restrictive [encapsulation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encapsulation_(computer_programming)) is selfish and elitist.
1. Milliseconds matter. A programmer should see the results of a program modification instantaneously.
1. It is extremely important for systems to be self hosted. Only use other programming systems as a bootstrap mechanism. If your system uses nothing written with another system, then you can rest assured that it is complete.
