    Catalog of Free Compilers and Interpreters.


With this document, I attempt to track the freely available compilers and
interpreters.   THIS IS STILL A DRAFT DOCUMENT: it has errors, it is not
complete, and I might re-organize it.

There is some overlap of coverage between this document and Bill
Kinnersley's Language List.  His document covers all computer languages and
as a by-product includes some information about implementations.  I wish to
cover all free implementations and as a by-product cover some languages.
Both from laziness and to avoid duplication of effort, I have not
integrated the information from Bill Kinnersley's Language List into my
catalog.

There is also some overlap between my catalog and Colas Nahaboo's Catalog
of embeddable Languages.

It is my intention that my catalog primerily serve developers rather than
researchers.  I am much more intersted in production quality systems.

To be on this list a package must have source code included.  If there are
any packages on this list that do not have source code included, then I
would appreciate it if it is brought to my attention so that I may correct
the error.

There are many fields filled in with a question mark (?).  If you have
information which would allow me to remove question marks, please send it
to me.  The only field which I do not expect to be completely obvious is
the "parts" field because I wish to distinguish between compilers,
translators, and interpretors.  To qualify as a compiler as I'm using the
term, it must compile to a machine-readable format no higher-level than
assembly.  Why?  Just because.  If you've got a better idea, send it in.

I hope to post this once a month.  I don't know if I will be able to.

David Muir Sharnoff <[e-mail]>, 10/2/92

This documents attempts to catalog freely availiable compilers,
interpretors, libraries, and language tools.  It is my intention that it be
aimed at developers rather than researchers.

<[e-mail]> how to get:     ftp programming/languages/abc/*
from mcsun.eu.net or ftp.eu.net description:    ABC is an imperative
language embedded in its own environment. It is interactive, structured,
high-level, very easy to learn, and easy to use. It is suitable for general
everyday programming, such as you would use BASIC, Pascal, or AWK for. It
is not a systems-programming language. It is an excellent teaching
language, and because it is interactive, excellent for prototyping.  ABC
programs are typically very compact, around a quarter to a fifth the size
of the equivalent Pascal or C program. However, this is not at the cost of
readability, on the contrary in fact. references:     "The ABC Programmer's

integrated language and system for implementation of large systems and
distributed applications, as well as for general-purpose programming.  It
is an imperative, strongly typed, process-oriented language.  Hermes hides
distribution and heterogeneity from the programmer.  The programmer sees a
single abstract machine containing processes that communicate using calls
or sends.  The compiler, not the programmer, deals with the complexity of
data structure layout, local and remote communication, and interaction with
the operating system.  As a result, Hermes programs are portable and easy
to write.  Because the programming paradigm is simple and high level, there
are many opportunities for optimization which are not present in languages
which give the programmer more direct control over the machine. reference:

goal of Modula-3 is to be as simple and safe as it can be while meeting the
needs of modern systems programmers.  Instead of exploring new features, we
studied the features of the Modula family of languages that have proven
themselves in practice and tried to simplify them into a harmonious
language.  We found that most of the successful features were aimed at one
of two main goals: greater robustness, and a simpler, more systematic type
system.  Modula-3 retains one of Modula-2's most successful features, the
provision for explicit interfaces between modules.  It adds objects and
classes, exception handling, garbage collection, lightweight processes (or
threads), and the isolation of unsafe features. ports:          ?, Ultrix,

is a language explicitly designed for making efficient recusive-descent
parsers.  Unlike most other languages, practicially the LEAST expensive
thing you can do in S/SL is recur.  A small language that defines
input/output/error token names (& values), semantic operations (which are
really escapes to a programming language but allow good abstration in the
pseudo-code), and a pseudo-code program that defines a grammar by the token
stream the program accepts.  Alternation, control flow, and 1-symbol
lookahead constructs are part of the language.  What I call an S/SL
"implementation", is a program that compiles this S/SL pseudo-code into a
table (think byte-codes) that is interpreted by the S/SL table-walker
(interpreter).  I think the pseudo-code language is LR(1), and that the
semantic mechanisms turn it into LR(N) relatively easily. + more powerful

implemantation description:    Sather is a new object-oriented computer
language developed at the International Computer Science Institute. It is
derived from Eiffel and attempts to retain much of that language's
theoretical cleanliness and simplicity while achieving the efficiency of
C++. It has clean and simple syntax, parameterized classes, object-oriented
dispatch, multiple inheritance, strong typing, and garbage collection. The
compiler generates efficient and portable C code which is easily integrated
with existing code. package:    A variety of development tools including a
debugger and browser based on gdb and a GNU Emacs development environment
have also been developed. There is also a class library with several
hundred classes that implement a variety of basic data structures and
numerical, geometric, connectionist, statistical, and graphical
abstractions. We would like to encourage contributions to the library and
hope to build a large collection of efficient, well-written, well-tested
classes in a variety of areas of computer science. ports:          Sun4

yourself.  We have accomplished this by "lowering the level" of the
high-level system slightly, making pattern variables ordinary identifiers
with essentially the same status as lexical variable names and macro

self.stanford.edu The Self Group at Sun Microsystems Laboratories, Inc.,
and Stanford University is pleased to announce Release 2.0 of the
experimental object-oriented exploratory programming language Self. Release
2.0 introduces full source-level debugging of optimized code, adaptive
optimization to shorten compile pauses, lightweight threads within Self,
support for dynamically linking foreign functions, changing programs within
Self, and the ability to run the experimental Self graphical browser under
OpenWindows. Designed for expressive power and malleability, Self combines
a pure, prototype-based object model with uniform access to state and
behavior. Unlike other languages, Self allows objects to inherit state and
to change their patterns of inheritance dynamically. Self's customizing
compiler can generate very efficient code compared to other
dynamically-typed object-oriented languages. discussion:

integration of the mechanisms for invoking and servicing operations.
Consequently, all of local and remote procedure call, rendezvous, message
passing, dynamic process creation, multicast, and semaphores are supported.
