Prompt debuts “a command line for the real world”

IFTTT is a kind of rule-based command line too.

Timing is everything. To me, this is just Dynamic Networds from the mid-1990's. :)

The problem text based interfaces solve is a lack of UI standardization. In a desktop environment a command line can be superior to some designer's attempt to express herself through a fancy GUI. However, key strokes on mobile are MUCH more expensive than in a desktop environment. What would have been a 4 second interaction on a desktop might be 20 seconds on a phone, simply because typing is slower. What this needs is a minimalistic UI for executing commands that doesn't involve typing. The workflow would look something like this: Unlock phone > tap Uber > tap destination > tap execute > lock phone.

Will it include programming structures (loops, conditionals, etc) and documentation (i.e. @prompt help @prompt)?

Would then also need to handle 'weird' cases that can dos a service, such as the silly: @uber While True { from x to y; cancel;}

Could services be compounded? What if I want my domino's pizza delivered to a location, picked up by an uber and delivered to my work address? (maybe dominos doesn't service my area but I have a vitamin p deficiency)
