  Boa Programming Language         


Author: Curtis W
Date: Jul 11, 2008 09:05

http://home.comcast.net/~cwarren89/boa.zip

Boa is a programming language I designed a few years back. It was
heavily inspired by python, although there are quite a few
differences. Essentially, I took out all the parts I didn't like and
added stuff I wanted. The only thing I never got around to doing was
writing a type checker for it. At the time I was waiting until I
started on the compiler, but I never got around to it. (I should point
out that, when I say 'type checker,' I mean one that essentially acts
as a lint-equivalent. It would only warn you--it wouldn't stop
compilation.)

  Call for participation: What types of organisations adopt agile methods?         


Author: Ant Grinyer
Date: Jul 10, 2008 14:33

Having worked in software development for over 15 years in many
organisations using different development methodologies such as
waterfall, RUP, Scrum and XP, I'm still not sure if there is a
specific 'type' of organisation that is more likely to adopt agile
approaches than others?

I guess it could be argued that those organisations that are more
innovative or open to change are more likely to adopt agile methods?

To try and gain more understanding, and because I have a passion for
software development methodologies, I started a PhD five years ago
(part-time) to look at this issue. I'm now at the point where I'm
conducting a short survey to determine what factors might or might not
influence the adoption of agile methods, in the hope to provide some
enlightenment. If we get enough participation, I then hope to report
this back to the group to see if there are indeed any trends.

The survey is short and should take around 5 - 10 minutes to complete,
so please bare with the scaled questions whereby you are asked to rate
your agreement against a list of statements. To participate, could I
kindly ask you to fill in the survey using the link below -

  ANN: Seed7 Release 2008-07-07         


Author: thomas.mertes

Hello,

I have released a new version of Seed7: seed7_05_20080707.tgz

In the Seed7 programming language new statements and operators
can be declared easily. Types are first class objects and therefore
templates/generics need no special syntax. Object orientation is
used when it brings advantages and not in places when other
solutions are more obvious.

Seed7 is covered by the GPL (and LGPL for the Seed7 runtime library).

Changelog:
- Various FAQs about reserved words, user defined statements, static
type checking, garbage collection, container classes, primitive
types and the difference between object and primitive...
