Description:
ae (the "application executive") is a C interpreter library which is compiled with an application; hence, the interpreter exists in the same process and address space. it includes a dbx symbol table scanner to access compiled vars & routines, or you can enter them manually by providing a type/name declaration and the address. when the interpreter is invoked, source code fragments are read from the input stream (or a string), parsed, and evaluated immediately. The user can call compiled functions in addition to a few built-in intrinsics, declare new data types and data objects, etc. Different input streams can be evaluated in parallel on alliant machines. Version 2 differs substantially in that the code fragments are read into an intermediate form before being evaluated, and can be stored in this form and then called from either user code or the interpreter. Version 2 also handles looping constructs (and the full C language), unlike version 1.

Location:

Description:
BOS is a C-callable library that implements the notion of object and which uses Tcl as its interpreter for interpreted methods (you can have "compiled" methods in C, and mix compiled and interpreted methods in the same object, plus lots more stuff). I regularly (a) subclass and (b) mixin existing objects using BOS to extend, among other things, the set of tk widgets (I have all tk widgets wrapped with BOS "classes"). BOS is a class-free object system, also called a prototype-based object system; it is modeled loosely on the Self system from Stanford.

MTtcl - Multi-threaded Tcl
Version:
0.9
Parts:

Location:
ftp://ftp.csua.berkeley.edu/pub/mttcl/MTtcl0.9.tar.gz
Description:
The MTtcl package gives Tcl/Tk programmers access to the multi-threading features of Solaris 2. The package comes in two parts; a modified version of Tcl 7.4, and a Tcl threads extension.

Modifications were necessary to enable Tcl to work "safely" in the presence of multiple threads. The Tcl interpretter uses a number of static and global variables to execute scripts. If two threads are using the same global, the behavior of the script may be unpredictable. This "safe" Tcl is called MT-Sturdy Tcl.

The threads extension brings multi-thread programming into the Tcl environment. Multiple scripts can be interpretted simultaneously with communication and synchronization between scripts. There is special support for using threads in Tk scripts. Documentation for the threads commands are in the form of man pages.

Requires:
Sparc, Solaris 2.3, Sparcworks 3.0 C compiler, Tcl 7.4, Tk 4.0

Description:
NArray is an extension to help Tcl cope with large in-memory numeric arrays. NArray's require only a few more bytes than the storage required by the array. In addition to providing array referencing and setting, narray allows functions to be mapped over each element of the array. These functions are compiled into byte code for performance about 100x faster than straight tcl and only 5-10x slower than C. (These numbers are ball-park figures, actual results depend on the situation.) If you have netCDF, then narray's can be saved to and loaded from netCDF files.

  • no arbitrary limits
  • exceptions
  • variables can be tied to arbitrary code (like dbm)
  • direct access to almost all system calls
  • can access binary data
  • many powerful idioms for common tasks
  • 8-bit clean, including nulls
  • dynamic loading of extensions
  • constructors, destructors, multiple inheritence, and operator overloading
  • support for writing secure systems
  • many useful libraries and extensions

Description:
Python is a simple, yet powerful programming language that bridges the gap between C and shell programming, and is thus ideally suited for rapid prototyping. Its syntax is put together from constructs borrowed from a variety of other languages; most prominent are influences from ABC, C, Modula-3 and Icon. Python is object oriented and is suitable for fairly large programs.
