<para><application>ABC</application> is an interactive programming

language and environment for personal computing, originally intended as a

good replacement for BASIC. It was designed by first doing a task

to learn (an hour or so for someone who has already programmed), and yet
|
|
easy to use. Originally intended as a language for beginners, it has

evolved into a powerful tool for beginners and experts alike. Some
|
|
features of the language include: a powerful collection of only five data
|
|
types that easily combines strong typing, yet without declarations,
|
|
no limitations (such as max int), apart from sheer exhaustion of memory
|
|
refinements to support top-down programming, nesting by indentation and
|
|
programs typically are one fourth or one fifth the size of the equivalent
|

Pascal or C program. </para>

<para><application>ASM</application> is a Java bytecode manipulation

proxy classes, directly in binary form, or to dynamically modify

classes at load time, i.e., just before they are loaded into the Java

|
Virtual Machine. <application>ASM</application> offers similar

functionalities as BCEL or SERP, but is much smaller (33KB instead of
|
|
350KB for BCEL and 150KB for SERP) and faster than these tools (the

|
overhead of a load time class transformation is of the order of 60% with
|
|
<application>ASM</application>, 700% or more with BCEL, and 1100% or
|
|
more with SERP). Indeed <application>ASM</application> was designed to be

|
used in a dynamic way (though it works statically as well) and was

therefore designed and implemented to be as small and as fast as

<title>Cyclone</title>

<para><application>Cyclone</application> is a programming language based

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

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

safety, but they don't give the same control over data representations

and memory management that C does (witness the fact that the run-time

systems for these languages are usually written in C.) Furthermore,

porting legacy C code to these languages or interfacing with legacy C

libraries is a difficult and error-prone process. The goal of

<application>Cyclone</application> is to give programmers the same

low-level control and performance of C without sacrificing safety, and to

<application>D</application> is not a scripting language, nor an

|
|
programmers who need to get the job done quickly, reliably, and leave

|
behind maintainable, easy to understand code.
|
|
<application>D</application> is the culmination of decades of experience
|
|
implementing compilers for many diverse languages, and attempting to

<para><application>Dylan</application> is an advanced, object-oriented,

dynamic language which supports rapid program development. When needed,

programs can be optimized for more efficient execution by supplying more
|
|
type information to the compiler. Nearly all entities in
|
|
<application>Dylan</application> (including functions, classes, and basic
|
|
data types such as integers) are first class objects. Additionally,
|
|
<application>Dylan</application> supports multiple inheritance,

<title>E</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><application>E</application> is a secure distributed Java-based
|
|
pure-object platform and p2p scripting language. It has two parts: ELib
|
|
and the <application>E</application> Language. Elib provides the stuff
|
|
that goes on between objects. As a pure-Java library, ELib provides for
|
|
inter-process capability-secure distributed programming. Its
|
|
cryptographic capability protocol enables mutually suspicious Java
|
|
processes to cooperate safely, and its event-loop concurrency and promise
|
|
pipelining enable high performance deadlock free distributed pure-object
|
|
computing. The <application>E</application> Language can be used to
|
|
express what happens within an object. It provides a convenient and
|
|
familiar notation for the ELib computational model, so you can program
|
|
in one model rather than two. Under the covers, this notation expands
|
|
into Kernel-E, a minimalist lambda-language much like Scheme or
|
|
Smalltalk. Objects written in the <application>E</application> language
|
|
are only able to interact with other objects according to ELib's
|
|
semantics, enabling object granularity intra-process security, including
|
|
the ability to safely run untrusted mobile code (such as caplets).</para>

<title>Felix</title>

<para><application>Felix</application> is an advanced Algol like

procedural programming language with a strong functional subsystem. It

features ML style static typing, first class functions, pattern matching,
|
|
garbage collection, polymorphism, and has built in support for high
|
|
performance microthreading, regular expressions and context free parsing.
|
|
The system provides a scripting harness so the language can be used like
|
|
other scripting languages such as Python and Perl, but underneath it
|
|
generates native code to obtain high performance. A key feature of the
|
|
system is that it uses the C/C++ object model, and provides an advanced
|
|
binding sublanguage to support integration with C/C++ at both the source
|
|
and object levels, both for embedding C/C++ data types and functions into
|
|
<application>Felix</application>, and for embedding
|
|
<application>Felix</application> into existing C++ architectures. The

Eiffel is an object-oriented programming language which emphasizes the

production of robust software. Its syntax is keyword-oriented in the
|
|
ALGOL and Pascal tradition. Eiffel is strongly statically typed, with
|
|
automatic memory management (typically implemented by garbage
|
|
collection). Distinguishing characteristics of Eiffel include Design by
|
|
contract (DbC), liberal use of inheritance including multiple
|
|
inheritance, a type system handling both value and reference semantics,
|
|
and generic classes. Eiffel has a unified type system—all types in
|
|
Eiffel are classes, so it is possible to create subclasses of the basic
|
|
classes such as INTEGER. Eiffel has operator overloading, including the
|
|
ability to define new operators, but does not have method
|
|
overloading.</para>

<para><application>Tiny C Compiler</application> is a small C compiler
|
|
that can be used to compile and execute C code everywhere, for example
|
|
on rescue disks (about 100KB for x86 TCC executable, including C
|
|
preprocessor, C compiler, assembler and linker).
|
|
<application>TCC</application> is fast. It generates optimized x86 code,
|
|
has no byte code overhead and compiles, assembles and links several times
|
|
faster than <application>GCC</application>.
|
|
<application>TCC</application> is versatile, any C dynamic library can be
|
|
used directly. It is heading toward full ISOC99 compliance and can
|
|
compile itself. The compiler is safe as it includes an optional memory
|
|
and bound checker. Bound checked code can be mixed freely with standard
|
|
code. <application>TCC</application> compiles and executes C source
|
|
directly. No linking or assembly necessary. A full C preprocessor and
|
|
GNU-like assembler is included. It is C script supported; just add
|
|
<quote>#!/usr/local/bin/tcc -run</quote> on the first line of your C
|
|
source, and execute it directly from the command line. With libtcc, you
|
|
can use <application>TCC</application> as a backend for dynamic code
|
|
generation.</para>

<title>Yorick</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><application>Yorick</application> is an interpreted programming
|
|
language, designed for postprocessing or steering large scientific
|
|
simulation codes. Smaller scientific simulations or calculations, such as
|
|
the flow past an airfoil or the motion of a drumhead, can be written as
|
|
standalone yorick programs. The language features a compact syntax for
|
|
many common array operations, so it processes large arrays of numbers
|
|
very efficiently. Unlike most interpreters, which are several hundred
|
|
times slower than compiled code for number crunching,
|
|
<application>Yorick</application> can approach to within a factor of four
|
|
or five of compiled speed for many common tasks. Superficially,
|
|
<application>Yorick</application> code resembles C code, but
|
|
<application>Yorick</application> variables are never explicitly declared
|
|
and have a dynamic scoping similar to many Lisp dialects. The

<title>Byte Code Engineering Library (BCEL)</title>
|

<para><application>BECL</application> is intended to give users a

|
convenient possibility to analyze, create, and manipulate (binary) Java
|

class files (those ending with
|
|
<filename class='extension'>.class</filename>). Classes are represented
|
|
by objects which contain all the symbolic information of the given class:
|
|
methods, fields and byte code instructions, in particular. Such objects
|
|
can be read from an existing file, be transformed by a program (e.g., a
|
|
class loader at run-time) and dumped to a file again. An even more
|
|
interesting application is the creation of classes from scratch at
|
|
run-time. The Byte Code Engineering Library may be also useful if you
|
|
want to learn about the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and the format of Java
|
|
<filename class='extension'>.class</filename> files.
|
|
<application>BCEL</application> is already being used successfully in

|
|
<para><application>Exuberant Ctags</application> generates an index (or
|
|
tag) file of language objects found in source files that allows these

items to be quickly and easily located by a text editor or other utility.
|
|
A tag signifies a language object for which an index entry is available
|
|
(or, alternatively, the index entry created for that object). Tag
|
|
generation is supported for the following languages: Assembler, AWK, ASP,
|
|
BETA, Bourne/Korn/Zsh Shell, C, C++, COBOL, Eiffel, Fortran, Java, Lisp,
|
|
Lua, Make, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Python, REXX, Ruby, S-Lang, Scheme, Tcl,
|
|
Vim, and YACC. A list of editors and tools utilizing tag files may be
|
|
found at <ulink url="http://ctags.sourceforge.net/tools.html"/>.</para>

<title>OProfile</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><application>OProfile</application> is a system-wide profiler for
|
|
Linux systems, capable of profiling all running code at low overhead.
|
|
<application>OProfile</application> is released under the GNU GPL. It
|
|
consists of a kernel driver and a daemon for collecting sample data, and
|
|
several post-profiling tools for turning data into information.
|
|
<application>OProfile</application> leverages the hardware performance
|
|
counters of the CPU to enable profiling of a wide variety of interesting
|
|
statistics, which can also be used for basic time-spent profiling. All
|
|
code is profiled: hardware and software interrupt handlers, kernel
|
|
modules, the kernel, shared libraries, and applications.
|
|
<application>OProfile</application> is currently in alpha status; however
|
|
it has proven stable over a large number of differing configurations. It
|
|
is being used on machines ranging from laptops to 16-way NUMA-Q
|
|
boxes.</para>
