+ | ====== What is AmbientTalk about? ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Ambient-Oriented programming is a paradigm geared towards mobile computing. Mobile hardware (such as cell phones) is mostly equipped with wireless networking, allowing it to collaborate with nearby devices in its environment. However, because wireless network links are volatile (basically: when devices move out of wireless range, the connection drops), network failures occur much more frequently than in traditional networks. The basic assumption of the Ambient-Oriented Programming paradigm is that languages should incorporate network failures at the heart of their programming model, and not treat them as " | ||

+ | Our own experimental language, AmbientTalk, | ||
+ | * It employs a purely // | ||
+ | * It abandons the RPC abstraction in favor of // | ||
+ | * It has built-in programming language constructs for objects to discover one another in the local ad hoc network. Peer-to-peer //service discovery// is built into the language. | ||
+ | * It features a dynamic OO kernel language built upon the principles of prototype-based programming (based on Scheme, Self and Smalltalk). The kernel language supports reflection using [[http:// | ||
+ | * The language syntax derives primarily from the 'curly brace' family of languages, but it mixes in the keyworded messaging syntax from Smalltalk as well. This, together with AmbientTalk' | ||
+ | * The current implementation of AmbientTalk embraces the JVM as a platform. It's easy for AmbientTalk programs to use Java libraries, and it's easy for Java objects to use !AmbientTalk as an embedded scripting language. This interaction is safe: even when AmbientTalk objects are " | ||
