Open Dylan compiles to native code and has a full-featured IDE including an
incremental development mode, browsing of runtime objects, remote debugging,
etc. Open Dylan currently only runs on the x86 platform and the IDE does not
yet run on the Linux version. Open Dylan is in many ways a mature
implementation. If you are new to the language, choose Open Dylan if you can.
P2c is a tool for translating Pascal programs into C. The input consists
of a set of source files in any of the following Pascal dialects: HP
Pascal, Turbo/UCSD Pascal, DEC VAX Pascal, Oregon Software Pascal/2,
Macintosh Programmer's Workshop Pascal, Sun/Berkeley Pascal, Texas
Instruments Pascal, Apollo Domain Pascal. Modula-2 syntax is also
supported. Output is a set of .c and .h files that comprise an
equivalent program in any of several dialects of C. Output code may be
kept machine- and dialect independent, or it may be targeted to a
specific machine and compiler. Most reasonable Pascal programs are
converted into fully functional C which will compile and run with no
further modifications, although p2c sometimes chooses to generate
readable code at the expense of absolute generality. P2c endeavors to
insert notes and warning messages into the output code to point out
areas which may require human intervention. Output code is arranged to
be readable and efficient, and to make use of C idioms wherever
possible. The main goal of the translation is to produce C files which
are pleasant and "natural" enough to be acceptable as the new source
files for a program. In a pinch, p2c will also serve as an ad hoc Pascal
compiler. The p2cc script makes it easy to use p2c as a compiler.
Beignet contains the code to run OpenCL programs on Intel GPUs, which
defines and implements host functions required to initialize the device,
create the command queues, the kernels, and the programs and run them on
the GPU. It also contains the compiler part of the stack.
This module is aimed mainly for CGI programming, when a perl script
generates a page with client side JavaScript code that needs access to
structures created on the server.
It works by creating one line of JavaScript code per datum. Therefore,
structures cannot be created anonymously and needed to be assigned to
variables. This enables dumping big structures.
Error - Error/exception handling in an OO-ish way
This module, which provides support for throwing and catching Error
(i.e. exception) objects.
p5-Expect is a perl module inspired by the Tcl version of Expect.
This module tries to figure out how to link C programs with
Fortran subroutines on your system. Basically one must add a list
of Fortran runtime libraries. The problem is their location
and name varies with each OS/compiler combination!
Beginners always want to write this:
print "The sum of three and four is: 3+4";
And they want the 3+4 part to be evaluated, so that it prints this:
The sum of three and four is: 7
Of course, it's a double-quoted string, so it's not evaluated. The only
things that are evaluated in double-quoted strings are variable
references.
There are solutions to this, but most of them are ugly. This module is
less ugly.
JSAN -- JavaScript Archive Network (JSAN) Shell
JavaScript::SpiderMonkey is a Perl Interface to the SpiderMonkey
JavaScript Engine. It is different from Claes Jacobsson's
"JavaScript.pm" in that it offers more friendly, Perl-like API.
