PENNY--a programming language and compiler for the context interchange project

Year: 1997
Type: dissertation
Abstract: In this Thesis, I designed and implemented a programming language and compiler for use under the COntext INterchange Architecture, MINT.The language, known as PENNY, was born from COINL, a deductive object-oriented language originally used to program under the MINT architecture.This new language boasts a new look and feel to provide a greater abstraction and minimize the complexity for the user.Furthermore, a compiler has been implemented which uses PENNY as its source language and DATALOG with negation as its destination language.Two existing applications have been re-coded in PENNY to demonstrate the language's ease of use and the compiler's capabilities.
