  • Interface Evolution Via Virtual Extension Methods Brian Goetz Fourth Draft, June 2011
    Interface evolution via virtual extension methods Brian Goetz Fourth draft, June 2011 1. Problem statement Once published, it is impossible to add methods to an interface without breaking existing implementations. (Specifically, adding a method to an interface is not a source- compatible change.) The longer the time since a library has been published, the more likely it is that this restriction will cause grief for its maintainers. The addition of closures to the Java language in JDK 7 place additional stress on the aging Collection interfaces; one of the most significant benefits of closures is that it enables the development of more powerful libraries. It would be disappointing to add a language feature that enables better libraries while at the same time not extending the core libraries to take advantage of that feature1. V1 of the Lambda Strawman proposed C#-style static extension methods as a means of creating the illusion of adding methods to existing classes and interfaces, but they have significant limitations – for example, they cannot be overridden by classes that implement the interface being extended, so implementations are stuck with the “one size fits all” implementation provided as an extension2, and they are not reflectively discoverable. 2. Virtual extension methods3 In this document, we outline a mechanism for adding new methods to existing interfaces, which we call virtual extension methods. Existing interfaces can be augmented without compromising backward compatibility4 by adding extension methods to the interface, whose declaration would contain instructions for finding the default implementation in the event that implementers do not provide a method body.

  • Appendix a and Appendix B
    This PDF contains 2 Appendices: Appendix A and Appendix B. Appendix A Answers to the Test Your Knowledge Questions This appendix has the answers to the questions in the Test Your Knowledge section at the end of each chapter. Chapter 1 – Hello, C#! Welcome, .NET! 1. Why can a programmer use different languages, for example, C# and F#, to write applications that run on .NET? Answer: Multiple languages are supported on .NET because each one has a compiler that translates the source code into intermediate language (IL) code. This IL code is then compiled to native CPU instructions at runtime by the CLR. 2. What do you type at the prompt to create a console app? Answer: You enter dotnet new console. 3. What do you type at the prompt to build and execute C# source code? Answer: In a folder with a ProjectName.csproj file, you enter dotnet run. 4. What is the Visual Studio Code keyboard shortcut to view Terminal? Answer: Ctrl + ` (back tick). Answers to the Test Your Knowledge Questions 5. Is Visual Studio 2019 better than Visual Studio Code? Answer: No. Each is optimized for different tasks. Visual Studio 2019 is large, heavy- weight, and can create applications with graphical user interfaces, for example, Windows Forms, WPF, UWP, and Xamarin.Forms mobile apps, but it is only available on Windows. Visual Studio Code is smaller, lighter-weight, code-focused, supports many more languages, and is available cross-platform. In 2021, with the release of .NET 6 and .NET Multi-platform App User Interface (MAUI), Visual Studio Code will get an extension that enables building user interfaces for desktop and mobile apps.

  • Nested Class Modularity in Squeak/Smalltalk
    Springer, Nested Class Modularity in Squeak/Smalltalk Nested Class Modularity in Squeak/Smalltalk Modularität mit geschachtelten Klassen in Squeak/Smalltalk by Matthias Springer A thesis submitted to the Hasso Plattner Institute at the University of Potsdam, Germany in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in ITSystems Engineering Supervisor Prof. Dr. Robert Hirschfeld Software Architecture Group Hasso Plattner Institute University of Potsdam, Germany August 17, 2015 Abstract We present the concept, the implementation, and an evaluation of Matriona, a module system for and written in Squeak/Smalltalk. Matriona is inspired by Newspeak and based on class nesting: classes are members of other classes, similarly to class instance variables. Top-level classes (modules) are globals and nested classes can be accessed using message sends to the corresponding enclosing class. Class nesting effec- tively establishes a global and hierarchical namespace, and allows for modular decomposition, resulting in better understandability, if applied properly. Classes can be parameterized, allowing for external configuration of classes, a form of dependency management. Furthermore, parameterized classes go hand in hand with mixin modularity. Mixins are a form of inter-class code reuse and based on single inheritance. We show how Matriona can be used to solve the problem of duplicate classes in different modules, to provide a versioning and dependency management mech- anism, and to improve understandability through hierarchical decomposition. v Zusammenfassung Diese Arbeit beschreibt das Konzept, die Implementierung und die Evaluierung von Matriona, einem Modulsystem für und entwickelt in Squeak/Smalltalk. Ma- triona ist an Newspeak angelehnt und basiert auf geschachtelten Klassen: Klassen, die, wie zum Beispiel auch klassenseitige Instanzvariablen, zu anderen Klassen gehören.

  • Functional Programming at Work in Object-Oriented Programming
    Functional Programming at Work in Object-Oriented Programming Narbel version 2010 Narbel Functional Programming at Work in Object-Oriented Programming 1 A Claim about Programming Styles Claim: Adding functional programming capabilities to an object-oriented language leads to benefits in object-oriented programming design. Narbel Functional Programming at Work in Object-Oriented Programming 2 Existing Languages with a FP-OOP Mix Some old and less old languages with FP+OOP: For instance, Smalltalk, Common Lisp (CLOS). More recently, Python or Ruby. Notations: FP, Functional programming; OOP, Object-oriented programming, Narbel Functional Programming at Work in Object-Oriented Programming 3 FP techniques emulated in OOP Practices in OOP languages include emulations of FP techniques: C++ programmers: function pointers and overloadings of the () operator, i.e. “object-functions” or functors. Java programmers: anonymous classes and introspection/reflexion. Narbel Functional Programming at Work in Object-Oriented Programming 4 Existence of FP-OOP Comparison Points The idea of using FP to enrich OOP is old, see e.g. the discussions about the problem of the user-defined datatype extension: User-defined types and procedural data structures as complementary approaches to data abstraction. Reynolds. 1975. The Expression Problem. Wadler. 1998. Narbel Functional Programming at Work in Object-Oriented Programming 5 A Trend: FP Extensions for OO Languages A recent trend: to propose and include typed FP extensions in mainstream static OO languages. Extensions for C++ (see e.g. Laufer, Striegnitz, McNamara, Smaragdakis), and work in progress in the C++ standard committees. Java 7 expected to include FP constructs. C# offers FP constructs (even more in its 3.0 version).

  • Comparative Studies of Six Programming Languages
    Comparative Studies of Six Programming Languages Zakaria Alomari Oualid El Halimi Kaushik Sivaprasad Chitrang Pandit Concordia University Concordia University Concordia University Concordia University Montreal, Canada Montreal, Canada Montreal, Canada Montreal, Canada [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Comparison of programming languages is a common topic of discussion among software engineers. Multiple programming languages are designed, specified, and implemented every year in order to keep up with the changing programming paradigms, hardware evolution, etc. In this paper we present a comparative study between six programming languages: C++, PHP, C#, Java, Python, VB ; These languages are compared under the characteristics of reusability, reliability, portability, availability of compilers and tools, readability, efficiency, familiarity and expressiveness. 1. Introduction: Programming languages are fascinating and interesting field of study. Computer scientists tend to create new programming language. Thousand different languages have been created in the last few years. Some languages enjoy wide popularity and others introduce new features. Each language has its advantages and drawbacks. The present work provides a comparison of various properties, paradigms, and features used by a couple of popular programming languages: C++, PHP, C#, Java, Python, VB. With these variety of languages and their widespread use, software designer and programmers should to be aware
