Let's start with something
simple - a GUI.
How Many Lines
...to make a Swing form?
In JavaX: 8 lines, counting very generously
final new JTextField tf1;
final new JTextField tf2;
showForm(
"First Name", tf1,
"Last Name", tf2,
r {
messageBox("Hello " + tf1.getText() + " " + tf2.getText() + "!");
});
Now for the first shocker!
How Many Lines
...for dynamically loading modules from the repository into your program?
Class c = run("#765");
One line in JavaX!
Afterwards, access class members by reflection.
Loaded code sits on server
e.g. at tinybrain.de/765
set(c, "debug", true);
call(c, "doStuff");
Now for the
Super-Shocker!
Stuff you just didn't think could be real.
How Many Lines
...to keep all your Java objects between program runs?
concepts.
concept Language { String name; }
concept Word { String word; }
concept ProbablyInLanguage {
new Ref<Word> word;
new Ref<Language> language;
}
2 super-simple lines of JavaX - plus minor class modifications.
concepts.
concept Language { String name; }
concept Word { String word; }
concept ProbablyInLanguage {
new Ref<Word> word;
new Ref<Language> language;
}
p {
conceptPersistence();
uniq(ProbablyInLanguage,
word := uniq(Word, "clown"),
language := uniq(Language, "english"));
}
Let's shock some more -this time involving
two devices.
How Many Lines
...to, within any PC program, delegate some computation to an Android phone?
[Start the "Awareness" app on the phone first and connect PC & phone through tethering.]
print(onPhone("sqrt(2)"));
One line in JavaX!
JavaX REPL on PC:
Code runs in full Java speed!
99+% is compilation
(= can be eliminated)
...and the final revelation.
Does it work
...the other way around too? (The phone calling the PC)
[Start the "Awareness" program on the PC and connect PC & phone through tethering.]
JavaX programs generally run unmodified on Android & PC.
print(onPC("sqrt(2)"));
Sure!
And we got so
much more...
