Even if a language has dynamic types or even a few simple data structures. In this blog we’ll look at the probable design of the Type System for Harth: Type - which describe the relationships between types (sub-typing) and sets of functions that types allow. Trait - which usually provide function, method and property implementations, but no state. http://www.harth-lang.org/blog/2016/03/15/names-and-identities/ Tue, 15 Mar 2016 10:50:43 -0700 http://www.harth-lang.org/blog/2016/03/15/names-and-identities/ Introduction An important aspect of new programming languages and their design is Naming and Identities. Essentially: How do we name our new language’s definitions (classes, functions, etc). How does the language uniquely identify these same things (classes, functions, etc). Names Software Engineers, usually English speaking, typically use easy to remember and descriptive names for classes, functions and similar. There is a lot of variance in style and length, so our new language has to cope with this. http://www.harth-lang.org/blog/2016/03/02/build-bridges-not-walls/ Wed, 02 Mar 2016 12:09:53 -0800 http://www.harth-lang.org/blog/2016/03/02/build-bridges-not-walls/ Architecture Often in software archictecure you have a few large components that need to connect. In real-life this might be analagous to two different cities seperated by a river. Almost certainly we would have already have built a bridge between them to cross this natural boundary. Fearful or foolish people might have built walls between them, but we’re not foolish. Bridges In Real Life The city of Vancouver in British Columbia (where I live), there’s the Port Mann Bridge that connects Vancouver with the city of Surrey to the south. http://www.harth-lang.org/blog/2016/03/01/syntax-ideas-and-prototype-examples/ Tue, 01 Mar 2016 11:57:19 -0800 http://www.harth-lang.org/blog/2016/03/01/syntax-ideas-and-prototype-examples/ Familiar Programming Language with Fully Reified, Immutable, and Homoiconic code/data. Familiar The syntax and text of a Harth program should be familiar to most programmers. Reified Reified means that all levels of the programming language model (text, lexical/tokens, AST, Semantic Model, Project, Binaries) are processed and available at run-time as ordinary data. The data where possible immutable (or near enough). Immutable Immutable data gives greater flexibility for shared state, caching, checksum, versioning, undo. http://www.harth-lang.org/blog/2016/02/24/test-blog-page/ Wed, 24 Feb 2016 11:38:50 -0800 http://www.harth-lang.org/blog/2016/02/24/test-blog-page/ Reason This blog is a test page. It’s meant to test the Harth-Hugo-Theme. Code Shortcode Example code block: #include <iostream>#define IABS(x) ((x) < 0 ? -(x) : (x)) int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { /* An annoying "Hello World" example */ for (auto i = 0; i < 0xFFFF; i++) cout << "Hello, World!" << endl; char c = '\n'; unordered_map <string, vector<string> > m; m["key"] = "\\\\"; // this is an error return -2e3 + 12l; } classThing { public: Thing(); int CallFunc(int x, int y); }; try { Thing t; int x = t.
