| 120 | no limitations (such as max int), apart from sheer exhaustion of memory

| 640 | <application>E</application> is a secure distributed Java-based
|
---|
| 641 | pure-object platform and p2p scripting language. It has two parts: ELib
|
---|
| 642 | and the <application>E</application> Language. Elib provides the stuff
|
---|
| 643 | that goes on between objects. As a pure-Java library, ELib provides for
|
---|
| 644 | inter-process capability-secure distributed programming. Its
|
---|
| 645 | cryptographic capability protocol enables mutually suspicious Java
|
---|
| 646 | processes to cooperate safely, and its event-loop concurrency and
|
---|
| 647 | promise pipelining enable high performance deadlock free distributed
|
---|
| 648 | pure-object computing. The <application>E</application> Language can
|
---|
| 649 | be used to express what happens within an object. It provides a
|
---|
| 650 | convenient and familiar notation for the ELib computational model, so
|
---|
| 651 | you can program in one model rather than two. Under the covers, this
|
---|
| 652 | notation expands into Kernel-E, a minimalist lambda-language much like
|
---|
| 653 | Scheme or Smalltalk. Objects written in the
|
---|
| 654 | <application>E</application> language are only able to interact with
|
---|
| 655 | other objects according to ELib's semantics, enabling object
|

| 656 | granularity intra-process security, including the ability to safely
|
---|
| 657 | run untrusted mobile code (such as caplets).

| 681 | <application>elastiC</application> is a portable high-level
|
---|
| 682 | object-oriented interpreted language with a C like syntax. Its main
|
---|
| 683 | characteristics are: open source, interpreted, has portable bytecode
|
---|
| 684 | compilation, dynamic typing, automatic real very fast garbage
|
---|
| 685 | collection, object oriented with meta-programming support (a la
|
---|
| 686 | Smalltalk), functional programming support (Scheme-like closures with
|
---|
| 687 | lexical scoping, and eval-like functionality), hierarchical namespaces,
|
---|
| 688 | a rich set of useful built-in types (dynamic arrays, dictionaries,
|
---|
| 689 | symbols, ...), extensible with C (you can add functions, types,
|
---|
| 690 | classes, methods, packages, ...), embeddable in C.
|
---|
| 691 | <application>elastiC</application> has been strongly influenced by C,
|
---|
| 692 | Smalltalk, Scheme and Python and tries to merge the best
|
---|
| 693 | characteristics of all these languages, while still coherently
|
---|
| 694 | maintaining its unique personality.

| 788 | matching, garbage collection, polymorphism, and has built in support
|
---|
| 789 | for high performance microthreading, regular expressions and context

| 791 | can be used like other scripting languages such as Python and Perl,
|
---|
| 792 | but underneath it generates native code to obtain high performance. A
|
---|
| 793 | key feature of the system is that it uses the C/C++ object model, and
|
---|
| 794 | provides an advanced binding sublanguage to support integration with
|

| 795 | C/C++ at both the source and object levels, both for embedding C/C++

|

| 1416 | a general-purpose programming language in the tradition of Pascal and
|

| 1417 | Modula-2. Its most important features are block structure, modularity,

|

| 1419 | across module boundaries) and type extension with type-bound
|

|
---|
| 1653 | Eiffel is an object-oriented programming language which emphasizes the
|
---|
| 1654 | production of robust software. Its syntax is keyword-oriented in the
|
---|
| 1655 | ALGOL and Pascal tradition. Eiffel is strongly statically typed, with
|
---|
| 1656 | automatic memory management (typically implemented by garbage
|
---|
| 1657 | collection). Distinguishing characteristics of Eiffel include Design
|
---|
| 1658 | by contract (DbC), liberal use of inheritance including multiple
|
---|
| 1659 | inheritance, a type system handling both value and reference semantics,
|
---|
| 1660 | and generic classes. Eiffel has a unified type system—all types
|
---|
| 1661 | in Eiffel are classes, so it is possible to create subclasses of the
|
---|
| 1662 | basic classes such as INTEGER. Eiffel has operator overloading,
|
---|
| 1663 | including the ability to define new operators, but does not have
|
---|
| 1664 | method overloading.

|

| 2539 | and several post-profiling tools for turning data into information.
|

| 2541 | counters of the CPU to enable profiling of a wide variety of
|

| 2542 | interesting statistics, which can also be used for basic time-spent
|
---|
| 2543 | profiling. All code is profiled: hardware and software interrupt
|

| 2544 | handlers, kernel modules, the kernel, shared libraries, and
|
---|
| 2545 | applications. <application>OProfile</application> is currently in

| 2547 | differing configurations. It is being used on machines ranging from
