Hi,
I have invented a full object oriented programming language whose syntax is
based on XML 1.0. The name of the language is x++. x++ is open sourced
under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). The x++ site contains
documentation on x++ including the lexicon, the source code and executables
for the implementations of the x++ interpreter.
The x++ site is at:
http://xplusplus.sourceforge.net/index.htm
The x++ site (with beta 0.1) went live on June 14th 2002 with a stand alone
x++ interpreter called XppTester.exe. Since the x++ site went live there
have been many feedback e-mails. Many programmers have received the news of
x++ will plenty of enthusiasm. This feedback has also prompted a few
enhancements to the syntax of x++. These have occasioned the release of x++
beta 0.2. Details of beta 0.2 changes can be seen on the x++ site.
In addition to the syntax changes, x++ beta 0.2 also comes with a second
implementation of the x++ interpreter: the XppEngFilt.dll ISAPI filter.
XppEngFilt supports x++ scripting on web servers. This allows x++ programs
to be embedded into HTML or XML files or simply stand alone x++ files and
processed on the web server before the HTTP response is sent to the web
client.
There is an article on x++ beta 0.2 explaining important issues, such as the
need for XML encapsulation and an independent XML tier. The article can be
found at:
http://www.topxml.com/code/default.asp?p=3&id=v20020704083903
Work that is already underway includes the development of an x++ IDE. This
IDE will dramatically speed up the writing of x++ programs. Some people
have mentioned the verbose nature of XML as an obstacle for any XML based
language (as x++ is). The x++ IDE which is nearing beta release solves this
problem extremely well.
Please feel free to browse the x++ site and send me your feedback. I
appreciate your time. E-mail me at Kimanzi_Mati@hotmail.com.
Thanks,
Kimanzi Mati
