ECO for Visual Studio Fieldtest
As the title says, ECO for VS is in beta.
There are certain limitations at present:
For this first field test, we would like to welcome experienced Eco users. Currently you will need to do your modeling in BDS and Delphi.net and then use the generated DLL in VS. We are in the process of arranging beta […]
Immutable Types for .NET
Check out this post from Microsoft’s Joe Duffy on immutable types for. NET. Well, he actually calls it "Immutable types for C#," but he does it with custom attributes and an FxCop rule, this is far as I can see it will work with any .NET language.
Is Visual Basic 9 "Haskell for the Masses?"
A few days ago, I mentioned an interesting paper (one of several) from the recent OOPSLA conference called "Confessions Of A Used Programming Language Salesman (Getting The Masses Hooked On Haskell)." Today I’d like to discuss that paper in some more detail.
The paper is written in an informal style, and includes some fairly audacious […]
OOPSLA Papers
Here are some recent papers which caught my attention. Generally speaking, you need to have a subscription to the ACM’s Digital Library to read them, but if one of these seems interesting let me know in comments and I can discuss it in more detail.
Dependent classes discusses a somewhat more flexible, proposed alternative to nested […]
Comparing InterBase and BlackfishSQL
Someone asked in the newsgroups for a comparison between InterBase and Blackfish SQL. So off the top of my head:
Feature
Blackfish SQL
InterBase
Connectivity
ADO.NET 2.0, JDBC, dbExpress
ADO.NET 1.1 and 2.0, JDBC (type 4), dbExpress, ODBC, native API, embedded SQL, OLE-DB via third parties
Data recovery features
Incremental backup with failover on Java platform only. Crash recovery via transaction log on […]
Virtualization and Hardware
A couple of interesting items in the news recently….
Recently, AMD announced a new feature which provides a light-weight profiler running in hardware on the processor. This is especially useful for a feature like Java’s HotSpot, which does dynamic re-optimization and re-JITting based on observed profile data during execution. One could use it in so-called "native" […]
Mutable Variables Eliminated from .NET
Via Lambda the Ultimate, some good programming humor:
MSBuild, Delphi, and the .NET Framework
Nick has announced that "the next release of Delphi will use MSBuild as the build engine.
