Glidr: A Graphical Language for Imperative Dynamic Reactive Programming

该项目正在开发一种更好的语言，以支持复杂软件系统（既需要离散逻辑和并行数据流连续处理的分布式混合系统）编程的新方法。应用包括：自动驾驶汽车的控制软件，它依赖于大量并行的实时传感器输入，并且它本身可能分布在多个处理器上；分布在云中数千个处理器上的应用程序；以及针对单个主机上的多核处理器进行优化的应用程序。该项目的灵感来自于最近向响应式编程（RP）的转变，这是对硬件并行性增加和云计算出现的响应

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
