SIMPLE:一种新型多范型程序设计语言

SIMPLE:A Novel Multi-paradigm Programming Language

为了满足越来越高的软件开发需求,许多通用程序设计语言扩充了各种新的语言设施,从而使语言变得复杂而难于学习和使用。为了创造一个核心概念简单明确、同时可以广泛用于各类开发的语言,设计了一种具有简明核心概念和丰富语言设施的程序设计语言SIMPLE。首先对SIMPLE语言进行概述,然后针对SIMPLE的模块化、泛型、内存管理以及异常处理等设施进行阐述。此外,讨论了如何将过程式、面向对象、函数式3种程序设计范型在SIMPLE中实现有机的融合。

Because modern static languages become increasingly complicated with too many extended constructs, we wanted a language with simple core concepts and wide applications. Therefore, we designed SIMPLE, a high-level pro- gramming language that possesses concise key concepts and abundant language constructs. We first introduced SIMPLE in a nutshell. Then some illuminating ideas on modular programming, generic programming, garbage collection, and ex- ception handling were proposed. In addition, we discussed how to integrate procedure oriented programming, object ori- ented programming, functional programming paradigms in the design of SIMPLE.
