A Classical Object-Oriented framework for JavaScript, intended to

|
|
|
|
eliminate boilerplate code and “ease” the transition
|
|
|
|
|
into JavaScript from other Object-Oriented languages. Features
|
|
|
|
|
include simple and intuitive class definitions; classical
|
|
|
|
|
inheritance; abstract classes and methods; interfaces; access
|
|
|
|

modifiers; static and constant members; and traits as

mixins. Became a GNU project in December of 2013.

Data collection and processing framework developed at LoVullo

|

|
|
Associates to handle hundreds of complex conditional inputs for

|
|
even more complex comparative rating systems.
|
|
|
|

It contains a powerful type and validation system and

|
|
|
|
controls inputs via predicates over a complex graph of
|
|
|
|
|
classifications.
|
|
|
|
|
Programs are defined using a declarative DSL which compiles into
|
|
|
|
|
JavaScript,
|
|
|
|
|
drastically simplifying development and maintenance.
|
|
|
|
|
The client is a web application which integrates and shares code
|
|
|
|
|
with a RESTful server.
|
|
|
|
|
It also contains its own tools for debugging and introspection.

This system was developed at LoVullo Associates to handle the
|
|
|
|
|
complexity of comparative insurance rating systems.
|
|
|
|
|
It is a domain-specific language (DSL) that itself
|
|
|
|
|
encourages,
|
|
|
|
|
through the use of templates,
|
|
|
|
|
the creation of sub-DSLs.
|
|
|
|
|
TAME processes only numerical input and output,
|
|
|
|
|
driven by higher-order predicates.
|
|
|
|
|
Calculations and predicates are written declaratively without
|
|
|
|
|
regard for order of execution.
|
|
|
|
|
The system has powerful dependency resolution and data flow
|
|
|
|
|
analysis capabilities.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

TAME consists of a macro processor (implementing a metalanguage),
|
|
|
|
|
numerous compilers for various targets
|
|
|
|
|
(JavaScript, HTML documentation and debugging environment,
|
|
|
|
|
LaTeX, dependency graph output, and others),
|
|
|
|
|
linkers,
|
|
|
|
|
and supporting tools.
|
|
|
|
|
The input grammar is XML,
|
|
|
|
|
and the majority of the project
|
|
|
|
|
(including the macro processor, compilers, and linkers)
|
|
|
|
|
is written in XSLT.

the Guardian released the Verizon Order for the collection of

A paper

exploring methods of implementing classical object-oriented
|
|
|
|
|
programming in ECMAScript 3. This paper describes common
|
|
|
|

patterns; addresses performance concerns; explores alternatives,
|
|
|

|
problems, and exploitations; and begins discussing the

There are a few languages that I no longer use because they are

either <a href="http://gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">non-free</a>

or focus on non-free operating systems.

Attended technology and programming courses with pre-existing

knowledge that surpassed that of the instructors' and vastly

|
|
exceeded class scope. Helped to instruct students when instructor

|

was unavailable, and aided in the answering of any questions.
