“…But what are the effective ways to express interface code? We contend, interface code is best denoted in extensible domain sub-languages [10], [11], [12] that offer both a high-level, user-centric domain vocabulary and a mechanism to grow the language on demand in order to adapt to changing coordination requirements.…”

“…In particular, we require abstractions that enable us to represent components as first-class entities and language facilities to "glue" them together. We champion language composition as a technique to enrich a given programming language with additional features [12]. More precisely, rather than stockpiling an everincreasing variety of concepts in a monolithic language, in a compositional extension model developers adjust the actual level of language support to the specific needs of the targeted domain on demand.…”

“…We have been developing GLOO, a functional composition language [10], [11], [12], to experiment and reason about compositional and extensible domain sub-languages. GLOO is based on the λF-calculus [9], which aggregates dynamic binding, explicit namespaces [1], and a foreign code gateway to form the semantic foundation for an openended programming model [8] for software composition.…”

Incorporating components from a number of different sources into a given application is generally considered to be a non-trivial activity. Over the years, various coordination mechanisms have been proposed to tackle this problem. However, even today, the question remains how to best link these coordination mechanisms with an underlying programming paradigm without loosing flexibility. A suitable technique to address this issue is language composition, enabling us to "fine-tune" a programming language on demand. In this compositional approach, we can add new features to the language as we go, within user-defined regions, and without polluting the underlying paradigm as a whole. To test the effectiveness of this technique, we explore a small stream processing framework and its corresponding coordination abstractions in this paper. More precisely, we report on our insights into using GLOO, a functional composition language, for the definition of extensible coordination abstractions that, through the composition of the concepts proxy, method pointer, and Pernici's "objects with roles" constitute, collectively, an attractive means to capture and denote inter-component interactions in a user-centric and domain-specific way.

Reusable Components for Lightweight Mechanisation of Programming Languages

Implementing Programming Languages (PLs) has always been a challenge for various reasons. One reason is the excess of routine tasks to be redone on every implementation cycle. This is despite the remarkable fraction of syntax and semantics usually shared between successive cycles. In this paper, we present a component-based approach to avoid reimplementation of shared PL fractions. We provide two sets of reusable components; one for syntax implementation and another for semantics. Our syntax and semantics components correspond to syntactic categories and semantics rules of a PL specification, respectively. We show how, in addition to their service to reusability in syntax and semantics, our components can cater reusable implementation of PL analyses. Our current level of experimentation suggests that this approach is applicable wherever the following two features are available or can be simulated: Type Constraints and Multiple Inheritance. Implementing a PL using our approach, however, requires some modest programming discipline that we will explain throughout the text.
