The main fundamental feature of Argentum is its reference-based data model, which not only ensures memory safety, like in Java-Rust-Go, but also completely prevents leaks. But aside from this feature, Argentum has many other interesting aspects, including ultra-fast dynamic type…
TL;DR Argentum programming language can make interface method dispatch in just 4 instructions and dynamic_cast in just 8 CPU instructions – many orders of magnitude faster than rivals.Unlike most modern languages it doesn’t use double-sized pointers for interfaces, doesn’t require…
By Pavel_Vozenilek My ideal is SQLite, where each production line is accompanied by thousand lines in tests. This is not always perfect idea for everyone everytime, but it fits me. [1] A test is test, not a function, doesn’t need…
Step 1. Create a separate module for the graphical scene. Let’s name this module gui. Step 2. Create a main application module. Step3. Entry point This line of code must always be the last line of the source file. What…
Practical example, comparison with popular languages, operation semantics, multithreading features, internal structure Original link: reddit To avoid excessive theorizing, let’s examine the reference model of the language using a practical example of a desktop application’s data model. We’ll design a…
Original link: reddit 1/2 years ago I started creating a new programming language. Windows demo: page: Language Features: Argentum is an experimental language. Much remains to be done: numerous code generation optimizations, bug fixes, test coverage, stack unwinding, improved debugger…
Original links: dev.to, reddit At the core of any modern programming language there lies a certain reference model, describing the data structures that applications will operate on. It defines how objects refer to each other, when an object can be deleted,…
Argentum threads act as ultra-lightweight processes. They don’t use mutexes, conditional variables or atomics to share state. They share immutable objects naturally and isolate hierarchies of mutable objects inside single thread. There is a mechanism of asynchronous message passing that…
Argentum application can work in either: In the synchronous mode application gets executed this way: In this mode application has access to the following objects: There is no global variables and no mutable global state in this mode: by tracing…
Debugger v0 supported breakpoints, call-stack inspection and stepping through the program. Version 1 added object inspection and watch expressions. Also it has special support for strings and limited support for arrays. This version is available in binary distribution. 1. Installation…
