Comment infinity / infinity = undefined (Score 1) 326

Forget languages, all you need is one single program that takes an input spec and an output spec and brute forces it's way through every possible program until it finds a solution. However, given that this would be an infinitely large search space, it cannot be determined that an infinitely fast computer would search through this in a finite period of time. So an infinitely fast computer might not be as powerful as it sounds.

On the other hand, an infintely fast computer could perfectly simulate an infinitely fast computer (could perfectly simulate an infinitely fast computer (could perfectly simulate an infintely fast computer .. ))... which would get you infinite geek cred.

Eclipse would still take minute to load though. No way around that.
