This StAX parser allows to easily read JSONs directly to the application data structures, skipping the building of JSON DOM and skipping all irrelevant pieces of data in the JSON stream. Why StAX 99% of real world applications read JSONs…
Numeric types Constants Since Argentum numeric constants define both value and type, there were added two suffixes (f and s): 32-bit constants are limited to: Constants without suffixes define 64bit values. Operations All integers operations are defined in 32 or…
Argentum functions and delegates are value types, not references. This makes it impossible to create classes parameterized with function and delegate prototypes and this in turn makes it impossible to create containers of functions and delegates and multicast delegates/multiple subscriptions.…
This section extends the single-threaded proof to multithreaded scenarios, incorporating inter-thread communication, shared immutable objects, and thread ownership rules. The proof maintains the core invariants while addressing concurrency and object transfers. 1. Definitions and Setup Threads: Let Θ be the…
1. Definitions and Setup Object Types: Pointer Types: Graph Representation: Reference Counting: Invariants: Goal: Prove that no pointer operations create cycles in the ownership graph (EC ∪ ES), ensuring all objects are deallocated when their reference count reaches zero, thus…
20 years ago I created a programming language ZS for the Zodiac Interactive company. This language has three unique features: It’s been in use for 20 years. It was a secret technology behind three Emmy Awards and numerous “impossible” contracts.…
Argentum uses vcpkg that automatically installs and builds all dependencies for all platforms in all configurations. Argentum dependencies include LLVM, Skia, SDL and other libraries. The initial build takes ≈60Gb of storage, it requires 16+Gb RAM, and depending on device…
Argentum strings are mere sequences of Unicode code-points (internally encoded in Utf-8). Argentum string is immutable. They are not indexable.There is only one way to access string characters – is to read them one-by-one start-to-end. Argentum String has unique features…
The previous “benchmark” tested integer arithmetic, control structures and function/lambda calls. This benchmark tests data structures, object creation, method calls and pointers. It’s based on First of all, tests from the above site have a number of issues: Let’s…
Argentum is advertised as fast. But how fast it actually is? Here is a simple benchmark of three languages: Python, C, and an x86-64 assembly. Though this benchmark is questionable: This though gives a glimpse on how these languages are…
