107 | <application>ABC</application> is an interactive programming language

108 | and environment for personal computing, originally intended as a

111 | to learn (an hour or so for someone who has already programmed), and yet
|
---|
112 | easy to use. Originally intended as a language for beginners, it has
|
---|
113 | evolved into a powerful tool for beginners and experts alike. Some
|
---|
114 | features of the language include: a powerful collection of only five
|

115 | data types that easily combines strong typing, yet without declarations,
|
---|
116 | no limitations (such as max int), apart from sheer exhaustion of memory
|

117 | refinements to support top-down programming, nesting by indentation and

118 | programs typically are one fourth or one fifth the size of the

119 | equivalent Pascal or C program.

181 | 350KB for BCEL and 150KB for SERP) and faster than these tools (the

182 | overhead of a load time class transformation is of the order of 60% with

183 | <application>ASM</application>, 700% or more with BCEL, and 1100% or

277 | but is a completely new design and implementation with vastly expanded

278 | ambitions. The <application><bigwig></application> language is

280 | different aspects of interactive Web services. These contributing

461 | <application>Cyclone</application> is a programming language based on

462 | C that is safe, meaning that it rules out programs that have buffer

|

464 | High-level, type-safe languages, such as Java, Scheme, or ML also

465 | provide safety, but they don't give the same control over data

466 | representations and memory management that C does (witness the fact

467 | that the run-time systems for these languages are usually written in

468 | C.) Furthermore, porting legacy C code to these languages or
|

469 | interfacing with legacy C libraries is a difficult and error-prone

637 | pure-object platform and p2p scripting language. It has two parts: ELib

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

651 | other objects according to ELib's semantics, enabling object

781 | <application>Felix</application> is an advanced Algol like
|
---|
782 | procedural programming language with a strong functional subsystem. It
|
---|
783 | features ML style static typing, first class functions, pattern
|
---|
784 | matching, garbage collection, polymorphism, and has built in support
|
---|
785 | for high performance microthreading, regular expressions and context
|
---|
786 | free parsing. The system provides a scripting harness so the language
|
---|
787 | can be used like other scripting languages such as Python and Perl,
|
---|
788 | but underneath it generates native code to obtain high performance. A
|
---|
789 | key feature of the system is that it uses the C/C++ object model, and
|
---|
790 | provides an advanced binding sublanguage to support integration with
|
---|
791 | C/C++ at both the source and object levels, both for embedding C/C++
|
---|
792 | data types and functions into <application>Felix</application>, and
|
---|
793 | for embedding <application>Felix</application> into existing C++
|
---|
794 | architectures. The <application>Felix</application> compiler is
|
---|
795 | written in Objective Caml, and generates ISO C++ which should compile
|
---|
796 | on any platform.

|

1117 | looks like ordinary postfix notation. However, in

1119 | parameters from the stack and leave any number of results on the stack.

1172 | <application>JWIG</application> is a Java-based high-level
|
---|
1173 | programming language for development of interactive Web services. It
|
---|
1174 | contains an advanced session model, a flexible mechanism for dynamic
|
---|
1175 | construction of XML documents, in particular XHTML, and a powerful API
|
---|
1176 | for simplifying use of the HTTP protocol and many other aspects of Web
|
---|
1177 | service programming. To support program development,
|
---|
1178 | <application>JWIG</application> provides a unique suite of highly
|
---|
1179 | specialized program analysers that at compile time verify for a given
|
---|
1180 | program that no runtime errors can occur while building documents or
|
---|
1181 | receiving form input, and that all documents being shown are valid
|
---|
1182 | according to the document type definition for XHTML 1.0. The main goal
|
---|
1183 | of the <application>JWIG</application> project is to simplify
|
---|
1184 | development of complex Web services, compared to alternatives, such
|
---|
1185 | as, Servlets, JSP, ASP, and PHP. <application>JWIG</application> is a

1186 | descendant of the <application><bigwig></application> research

1548 | <application>R</application> is a language and environment for

1553 | <application>R</application> can be considered as a different

1555 | important differences, but much code written for

1556 | <application>S</application> runs unaltered under
|
---|
1557 | <application>R</application>. <application>R</application> provides a

1558 | wide variety of statistical (linear and nonlinear modelling, classical
|
---|
1559 | statistical tests, time-series analysis, classification, clustering,
|

1560 | ...) and graphical techniques, and is highly extensible. The

1561 | <application>S</application> language is often the vehicle of choice

1562 | for research in statistical methodology, and

1563 | <application>R</application> provides an Open Source route to

|
---|
1649 | Eiffel is an object-oriented programming language which emphasizes the
|
---|
1650 | production of robust software. Its syntax is keyword-oriented in the
|
---|
1651 | ALGOL and Pascal tradition. Eiffel is strongly statically typed, with
|
---|
1652 | automatic memory management (typically implemented by garbage
|
---|
1653 | collection). Distinguishing characteristics of Eiffel include Design
|
---|
1654 | by contract (DbC), liberal use of inheritance including multiple
|
---|
1655 | inheritance, a type system handling both value and reference semantics,
|
---|
1656 | and generic classes. Eiffel has a unified type system—all types
|
---|
1657 | in Eiffel are classes, so it is possible to create subclasses of the
|
---|
1658 | basic classes such as INTEGER. Eiffel has operator overloading,
|
---|
1659 | including the ability to define new operators, but does not have
|
---|
1660 | method overloading.

1894 | <para>

1895 | <application>Yorick</application> is an interpreted programming
|

1896 | language, designed for postprocessing or steering large scientific

1897 | simulation codes. Smaller scientific simulations or calculations, such
|
---|
1898 | as the flow past an airfoil or the motion of a drumhead, can be
|
---|
1899 | written as standalone yorick programs. The language features a compact
|
---|
1900 | syntax for many common array operations, so it processes large arrays
|
---|
1901 | of numbers very efficiently. Unlike most interpreters, which are
|
---|

|
---|
1903 | <application>Yorick</application> can approach to within a factor of

1974 | class: methods, fields and byte code instructions, in particular. Such
|

2533 | <application>OProfile</application> is released under the GNU GPL. It

2534 | consists of a kernel driver and a daemon for collecting sample data,
|

2535 | and several post-profiling tools for turning data into information.
|
---|
2536 | <application>OProfile</application> leverages the hardware performance

2537 | counters of the CPU to enable profiling of a wide variety of
|

2538 | interesting statistics, which can also be used for basic time-spent
|

2539 | profiling. All code is profiled: hardware and software interrupt
|

2540 | handlers, kernel modules, the kernel, shared libraries, and
|
---|
2541 | applications. <application>OProfile</application> is currently in

2542 | alpha status; however it has proven stable over a large number of

2543 | differing configurations. It is being used on machines ranging from
