Glidr: A Graphical Language for Imperative Dynamic Reactive Programming

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project is developing a better language to support a new approach to the programming of complex software systems (distributed, hybrid systems requiring both discrete logic and continuous processing of parallel data streams). Applications include: the control software of an autonomous vehicle, which relies on a host of parallel, real-time sensor inputs, and which may itself be distributed over several processors; applications distributed over many thousands of processors in the cloud; and applications optimised for a multi-core processor on a single host. The project is inspired by a recent shift towards Reactive Programming (RP) as a response to increased hardware parallelism and the advent of cloud computing
