Programming languages for the Java Virtual Machine JVM

xsltxt

Robert Tolksdorf — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 00:17:29 +0000

xsltxt provides an alternative non-xml syntax for XSLT stylesheets that is easier to write, understand and maintain. The semantics of xsltxt are the same as XSLT written in XML, only the syntax is changed, and the standard javax.xml.transform APIs are used to perform the actual transformations.

300!

There are now 300 languages posted here… Ok, 68 broken links are reported but still there is a lot to explore about programming language implementations. Thanks to everyone who contributed so far!

compiler-hopper

Robert Tolksdorf — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 22:07:47 +0000

compiler-hopper is a compiler for the language Grace.

Micro Java

Robert Tolksdorf — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 00:34:35 +0000

A compiler for the Micro Java language. French documentation only.

streme

Robert Tolksdorf — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 23:20:37 +0000

Streme (Scheme + stream) is a Scheme-inspired language with a concurrent interpreter. The main goal is to make effective use of multiple cores when evaluating programs. Streme comes with analysis tools that are capable of performing control and value flow analysis, together with interprocedural dependence analysis. The ultimate goal is automatic parallelization of Scheme programs, evaluating standard Scheme programs (i.e. programs without special annotations for parallelization) using multiple cores.

xmlsh

Robert Tolksdorf — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 23:06:01 +0000

xmlsh is command line shell like the Unix shells but providing a familiar scripting environment specifically tailored for scripting XML processes.

Alef++

Robert Tolksdorf — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 13:48:50 +0000

Its author claims that “Alef++ is a new programming language like Perl and Lisp syntax, with a many changing in classical languages designs”. It is proposed as a dynamic language is based in Java Virual Machine and designed to OO-Style programmers. It is claimed to have a new design for flow controls, an easy manipulaction for arrays and hashs, many styles for subroutines, a crazy syntax and to be designed just for fun.

munci

Robert Tolksdorf — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 11:59:28 +0000

From munci’s homepage: Munci (pronounced “Monkey”) is an interactive macro-interpreted-compiling language inspired by Forth. As in Forth, functions written in Monkey can examine source code. Unlike Forth, Munci uses a generalized version of the Java tokenizer for input, so Munci programs can easily parse Java-esque code.

OHL

Robert Tolksdorf — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 23:05:05 +0000

OHL is a Java extension that adds sub-type switching to Java as in

switch (figure) {
  case instanceof Circle {
    return "Radius: " + figure.getRadius();
  }
  case instanceof Square {
    return "Side length: " + figure.getSideLen();
  }
}

xUmlCompiler

Robert Tolksdorf — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 23:56:21 +0000

The xUmlCompiler is an executable UML environment which turns data models specified with UML into executable classes.
