[furcas-discussion] Where are things?

[Thomas Goldschmidt]

Hi Axel,

Did you receive any valuable feedback from the OCL workshop that might be 
important to incorporate into the journal version of the paper?

Concerning the recent development from my side: Stephan created lots of 
new test cases for the incremental parser (thanks again for that!). Some 
of the tests were failing and I already fixed some but there are still 
some that are currently failing and are therefore ignored. I hop to have 
the chance to look into these during the next week(s).

1) Who is the guy? I have a TelCo today with a guy from our research 
center in the US just about the very same topic DSLs for HPC. Could be 
interesting to see if there are any overlaps.
2) Yes there is a draft version of the mapping for OCL. However, it is not 
complete yet.
3) Sounds interesting, maybe we can have a chat about that for more 
details.

Regards,
Thomas

[furcas-discussion] Where are things?






Hi all,

I'm back from Kiel Week and the OCL 2011 workshop and my brain is slowly 
starting to clear up :-). I wonder where things are with FURCAS right 
now. Is our Bugzilla our "backlog?" Any other sources where we can know 
what the big open issues are?

I still feel that the refactoring that I started which was intended to 
remove the DelayedReference... stuff still hasn't completed, or has 
anyone continued with that?

Where are things regarding the pretty-printer? What about the IMP 
migration? Do we have usable editors? Does the wizard work?

I have three potential use cases.

  1) With an old friend who is a professor at ETH Zurich I discussed his 
need for a DSL for high-performance computing. He seems to have very 
precise ideas regarding the design of a DSL that can be compiled to 
extremely efficient code afterwards. I thought this may be an 
interesting use case for evaluating where FURCAS currently stands.

  2) OCL: Thomas made an effort to manage OCL expressions using FURCAS. 
Where has this gone?

  3) SAP Sailing Program: We are now starting the second phase of this 
project, after Kiel Week is over. One of the things I really found 
annoying (perhaps because I don't know appropriate frameworks helping 
with this task) was the construction of RESTful services. We did this 
manually, implementing the doGet method of a servlet, fiddling with 
parameters and synthesizing a JSON output document using the simpleJSON 
library. What a nightmare. No documentation of the parameter signatures 
and the output. All buried in the code. How nice would it be to have a 
simple DSL that allowed us to express the argument types, dependencies, 
signatures as well as the JSON output document structure?

What do you think? Is FURCAS mature enough for any of these three use 
cases?

Best,
-- Axel
