  • A Retrospective on Pugs ☺
    ☺ A retrospective on Pugs ☺ Ingo Blechschmidt <[email protected]> Augsburg.pm (April 13th, 2015) Pugs, an experimental Perl 6 platform: a retrospective 1 / 37 April 13th, 2015 Abstract. “Hi. Today I have started working on specifying and implementing Feath- erweight Perl 6 (FP6), a side-effect-free subset of Perl 6.” Audrey Tang used these words to unveil the Pugs project in February of 2005. Initially conceived as an imple- mentation of a small subset of Perl 6 in Haskell, the project quickly grew to contain a full-fledged compiler and interpreter for Perl 6 and aracted a large and diverse community. e talk will give a subjective survey of the history of Pugs. We will pay particular aention to the special manner with which Audrey led the project and what the phi- losophy “-Ofun” meant to the developers. We’ll also discuss which parts of Pugs were absorbed into other implementations of Perl 6 and which influence Pugs had on the Perl and Haskell communities. About me. I contributed to Pugs as a school student in 2005, at first by porting modules and writing tests, then gradually also by writing Haskell code and later by implement- ing a JavaScript backend. Audrey and the unique spirit in the Pugs community had a strong and lasting influence on me (exposing me to Haskell, category theory, and a beautiful way of tending communities); I look back on very exciting and fun days. Warning. e account is mostly from memory and not properly researched. Try not to trust it! Also note that the timeline covers only the year 2005 and that the code excerpts are edited for legibility, i.

  • Perl 6 / Parrot
    Perl 6 / Parrot April 2009 Friday, April 3, 2009 Pieces and Parts Perl 6 Rakudo Pugs Parrot Machine April 2009 Friday, April 3, 2009 Parrot is a virtual machine designed to efficiently compile and execute bytecode for dynamic languages. Parrot is designed with the needs of dynamically typed languages (such as Perl and Python) in mind, and should be able to run programs written in these languages more efficiently than VMs developed with static languages in mind (JVM, .NET). Parrot is also designed to provide interoperability between languages that compile to it. In theory, you will be able to write a class in Perl, subclass it in Python and then instantiate and use that subclass in a Tcl program. April 2009 Friday, April 3, 2009 Parrot Submitted by allison on Tue, 03/17/2009 - 21:54. ... On behalf of the Parrot team, I'm proud to announce Parrot 1.0.0 "Haru Tatsu." April 2009 Friday, April 3, 2009 Four instruction formats ✤ PIR (Parrot Intermediate Representation) ✤ PASM (Parrot Assembly) ✤ PAST (Parrot Abstract Syntax Tree) enables Parrot to accept an abstract syntax tree style input - useful for those writing compilers. ✤ PBC (Parrot Bytecode) The above forms are automatically converted inside Parrot to PBC. Like machine code but understood by the Parrot interpreter. It is not intended to be human-readable or human- writable, but unlike the other forms execution can start immediately, without the need for an assembly phase. PBC is platform independent. April 2009 http://docs.parrot.org/parrot/latest/html/ Friday, April 3, 2009 Parrot PIR Parrot Intermediate Representation is designed to be written by people and generated by compilers.

    Workshop for Commercial Users of Functional Programming, Tallinn, Estonia, September 2005. Functional programming as a means not an end. Many of the slides from this meeting are available from the CUFP website: http://www.galois.com/cufp/ Notes by Simon Thompson, Computing Laboratory, University of Kent, Canterbury, CT2 7NF, UK. [email protected] Draft 2, 16 October 2005 Introduction The first one-day workshop for Commercial Users of Functional Programming took place in September 2004 in Snowbird, Utah, as a part of ICFP 2004, and was reported in the December 2004 issue of SIGPLAN Notices by Andy Moran. The second meeting, again co-located with ICFP, was held on 24 September in Tallinn, Estonia. Attendance was a healthy 40 plus, doubling last year's numbers. Eight speakers shared their experiences of using functional languages 'in anger' and two wide-ranging discussions completed the day's programme. The goal of CUFP is to build a community for users of functional programming languages and technology, be they using functional languages in their professional lives, in an open source project (other than implementation of functional languages), as a hobby, or any combination thereof. In short: anyone who uses functional programming as a means, but not an end. In that sense the 'commercial' is a misnomer, and may well be dropped by future workshops. The emphasis of the workshop is on use rather than research or development, and as such, the focus of the meeting is quite diferent from the main tracks. Instead of the emphasis on yet another language enhancement or extension, the focus is the complete package of language, libraries, implementations, tools and training, and how these together support or hinder the widespread adoption and use of functional languages in large-scale projects, be they commercial, open source, or indeed in universities.

An example : Eclipse IDE IBM gives/opens its codebase the IDE market disappears competitors die or survive in niche segment a new market : plugins for Eclipse Who is best placed in this market ?
