Dylan Foundry

http://dylanfoundry.org/category/dylan.html

Covered the subject of the initial LLDB and Dylan integration. While much of this post discusses what we did to improve Dylan integration, the overall techniques are broadly useful for many languages. In fact, if anyone is interested, I am available for consulting on this topic. Just email me. In the previous post, we talked about changing the base representation from. Of this are quite interesting, so out of an abundance of caution, we will not be going down this route. Read more ». Mon 02 March 2015.

Saying Good-bye: HARP - Dylan Foundry

http://dylanfoundry.org/2014/08/31/saying-good-bye-harp

By Bruce Mitchener, Jr. Sun 31 August 2014. This begins a new series of blog posts that will continue over the next few months as we say Good-bye! To parts of Open Dylan. Freedom comes when you learn to let go Creation comes when you learn to say no - Madonna, The Power of Good-Bye. Clive Tong, an engineer at Harlequin in 1989, briefly described it. Some additional details about the early design of HARP are available in Techniques for Dynamic Software Migration. HARP is a fairly complicated beast handlin...

Type System - Dylan Foundry

http://dylanfoundry.org/tag/type-system.html

Dylan and Gradual Typing. As we look to the future and what we would like for Dylan to become and investigate how we would like for Dylan to evolve, it is helpful to look at some of the current work and how Dylan compares, where Dylan falls down and whether or not we can improve it. I've previously written a Type System Overview. Which may be useful, but hopefully this post can stand on its own. One particularly interesting body of work is that on. From What is Gradual Typing.

Streams - Dylan Foundry

http://dylanfoundry.org/tag/streams.html

HTTP and Stream Processing. As we discussed in the previous post. We are thinking about a new design and implementation for the streams library in Open Dylan. While the examples in this post are in Dylan and are using code from our HTTP server, these issues exist in HTTP frameworks in other languages. The code should be clear enough that little to no Dylan knowledge is required to understand the points being made here. What does this have to do with HTTP? Read more ».

Integrating with LLDB - Dylan Foundry

http://dylanfoundry.org/2014/06/25/integrating-with-lldb

By Bruce Mitchener, Jr. Wed 25 June 2014. I spend a lot of time debugging Dylan code. Up until now, this has been a somewhat painful process when not using the IDE on Windows. (And I don't really use the IDE on Windows as it doesn't fit well into my workflow.) I finally reached the point where I decided that I wanted to improve our debugger integration. Much of what is described below may be applicable to people working on debugging support for other languages. Current State of Dylan Debugging. We're goi...

LLVM - Dylan Foundry

http://dylanfoundry.org/tag/llvm.html

Many compilers are now being outfitted with LLVM backends. There are a variety of ways to do this, and we'll take a look at some of them here. Calling LLVM APIs Directly. One common and easy way to integrate with LLVM is to directly link against the LLVM libraries and invoke the LLVM API directly. LLVM's native APIs are C . Examples of languages that talk to LLVM via the C APIs are Julia and CLASP. This is also the approach taken by Clang. LLVM also provides a C wrapper around the C APIs. This .
