Alice ML Description

Alice ML is a functional, concurrent, distributed programming language based on Standard ML. Alice is a functional programming language based on Standard ML, extended with rich support for concurrent, distributed, and constraint programming.Here are some key features of "Alice ML":· Futures: laziness and light-weight concurrency with data-flow synchronisation· Higher-order modules: higher-order functors and abstract signatures· Packages: integrating static with dynamic typing and first class modules· Pickling: higher-order type-safe, generic & platform-independent persistence· Components: platform-independence and type-safe dynamic loading of modules· Distribution: type-safe cross-platform remote functions and network mobility· Constraints: solving combinatorical problems using constraint propagation and programmable searchThe Alice System is a rich open-source programming system featuring the following tools: · Virtual machine: a portable VM with support for just-in-time compilation· Interactive system: an interpreter-like interactive toplevel· Batch compiler: separate compilation· Static linker: type-safe bundling of components· Inspector: a tool for interactively inspecting data structures· Explorer: a tool for interactively investigating search problems· Gtk+: a binding for the Gnome toolkit GUI library· SQL: a library for accessing SQL databases· XML: a simple library for parsing XML documentsWhat's New in This Release:· Alice now incorporates some of the proposed extensions for Successor ML.· The bytecode jitter is now the default execution unit.· The documentation includes a constraint programming tutorial, and the constraint library now uses the current stable version of Gecode.
