How to manage memory ?

22-Mar-2019

In ISA, the memory is managed thru smart pointer because of the efficiency and simplicity of this approach. On usual systems, the O.S. also provides Processes. To free objects, the process wall is broken by ISA! But this implies some memory management adjustments.

To be or not to be Generic

4-Feb-2019

Thesis: Not to be generic At first, I didn’t want to include generics in LL. This is mainly for two reasons. First, because it is really hard to conceive and understand a generic algorithm. This goes at contrary of the Wish N°5 – Simple and freed of experts. In my professional life, I have often …

Generation algorithms of Object id

5-Jan-2019

The object identifier production is one of the most important thing in an OO Architecture, and even more when it is a distributed one. This post is about some key items of the Identity axiom. Its major concerns are integrity, isolation and performance.

Introduction to Concepts Assembly

26-Sep-2018

Regular followers of this blog may have noticed a low posting rate. This is not because this blog is dead: not at all. But I am working since a long time on the LL model and meta-model. This is an accurate, hard and also time consuming work. Moreover, I am …

Overview of the LL type system

25-Dec-2017

This post is some kind of tutorial on the Last Language type system. Not just a tutorial in fact, but a discussion space to challenge the ISA type architecture.

LL basics and syntax

16-Oct-2017

What are the major guidelines for LL? Simple (as Basic and PHP), Powerfull (like C++ or Smalltalk), Consistent (as OO is), Efficient (as C++ and Python), Dynamic but not messy, Seamlessly to suit to the whole software life cycle.

What to express ? The ISA roadmap

22-Mar-2017

After stating that LL is the language to express ISA, comes the time to define the content expressed: The whole software developpement stack (just this !). From the idea to the production, in going thru the coding, the testing and the other major tasks of our industry.That’s the opportunity to state the ISA software process steps and also the delivered artefacts.

What language to express ISA?

4-Feb-2017

How to express ISA ? The conclusion here is that building a first round of LL is the best answer. A warm up lap before the real start of the ISA solutions.

Useless concepts

21-Jan-2017

The scope, background and foundations of ISA are now well established. It is time to examine the existing principles, the concepts and artefacts that are not useful for us. To reverse our point view in order to enumerate the existing things that must be avoided.

Object Oriented Guidelines

4-Dec-2016

ISA relies on the Object Oriented paradigm. Let me now join OO with our wishes. Some guidances emerge . The first one is, not surprisingly, “Everything in ISA is an Object”!
