Why C++ is not just an object-oriented programming language

Object-oriented Reactive Programming is Not Reactive Object-oriented Programming

According to chapter 3 of Abelson & Sussman [1], there are two fundamentally different ways to organise large systems: according to the objects that live in the system, or according to the streams of values that flow through the system. Even though the notions of “object” and “stream” have meanwhile taken many incarnations, the dichotomy still exists in modern programming languages. Marrying re...

Figaro: An Object-Oriented Probabilistic Programming Language

We introduce an object-oriented paradigm for probabilistic programming, embodied in the Figaro language. Models in Figaro are objects, and may have properties such as conditions, constraints and relationships to other objects. Figaro model classes are created by inheriting functionality from existing classes. Figaro provides a modular, compositional Metropolis-Hastings algorithm, and gives the ...

Pluto: An Object-Oriented Logic Programming Language

Issues in the Design of an Object Oriented Programming Language

The object oriented paradigm, which advocates bottom-up program development, appears at rst sight to run counter to the classical, top-down approach of structured programming. The deep requirement of structured programming, however, is that programming should be based on well-de ned abstractions with clear meaning rather than on incidental characteristics of computing machinery. This requiremen...
