ANN: Open Quark Framework for Java (CAL Language) 1.5.0
|
|
|
| The Open Quark team is delighted to announce a new version of the Open
Quark Framework for Java, and its associated Eclipse Plug-in.
Open Quark supports efficient non-strict functional evaluation in
Java, and allows complete interoperability with Java, functional
metaprogramming and evaluation control. Functions can be created
programmatically in Java via a number of object models, and the full-
featured Haskell-like language CAL allows large functional libraries
and applications to be expressed conveniently. There is an
increasingly complete Eclipse plug-in to support development in the
CAL language. There is also a graphical language to create new
functions.
As usual, the software packages and collateral can be downloaded at:
http://labs.businessobjects.com/cal
A discussion forum can be found at:
http://groups.google.com/group/cal_language
Version 1.5.0 is a feature release adding several important
enhancements, including:
- The ability to create minimal JAR files with a static main method.
For those using CAL to write standalone applications without the need
for metaprogramming or control from Java code, you can now create
convenient JARs that are extremely small in size with very fast start-
up (the CAL workspace and support for dynamic programming is not
loaded).
- The Eclipse plug-in has wizards to help set up new projects and
modules.
- The Eclipse plug-in has CAL templates
- The Eclipse plug-in supports shift/control hover to see the source
code of a symbol
- CAL source formatting is much improved
- Help is now available in Eclipse
