Cartesian Programming: The TransLucid Programming Language

Authors: John Plaice and Blanca Mancilla

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 8271, Topological and Game-Theoretic Aspects of Infinite Computations (2008)

Abstract

The TransLucid programming language is a low-level intensional language, designed to be sufficiently rich for it to be the target language for translating the common programming paradigms into it, while still being fully declarative. The objects manipulated by TransLucid, called hyperdatons, are arbitrary-dimensional infinite arrays, indexed by multidimensional tuples of arbitrary types. We present the syntax, denotational and operational semantics for a simple TransLucid system, consisting of 1) a header detailing how expressions should be parsed, 2) a set of libraries of types, and operations thereon, defined in a host language, 3) a set of TransLucid equations, and 4) a TransLucid demand to be evaluated. The evaluation of a demand for an (identifier, context) pair is undertaken using eduction, where previously computed pairs are stored in a cache called a warehouse. The execution ensures that only those dimensions actually encountered during the execution of an expression are taken into account when caching intermediate results.

Declarative Synchronous Multithreaded Programming

Authors: Blanca Mancilla and John Plaice

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 8271, Topological and Game-Theoretic Aspects of Infinite Computations (2008)

Abstract

We demonstrate how TransLucid can be used as a reactive system. At each instant, there is a set of active ports, where sets of equations, demands and threads are all registered. Each thread defines a sequence of (state, demand) pairs, and threads may interact through the overall set of equations. The entire system remains fully declarative.
