I mean, how to get the best of the two different philosophies of computation. One is based on typed programming languages and the other on engineering with diagrams . This is about practical computing and the cost and feasibility of software development in general. Here is the problem: We have a lot of algorithms which can all be described abstractly using some sort of pseudocode, or perhaps using some particular language (usually Python!). These algorithms are often well-studied and a lot is known about them in terms of their computational complexity in time and space. Substantive practical software systems invariably employ many such algorithms, often implemented in libraries with more or less well-specified APIs. But very few of these libraries are capable of interoperating because they are either packages written in some specific programming language like Java or Haskell, say, or they are written in C and used as object code, or they are written in an interpreted language like Sc...
Listening to Freya Holmér last night I started to get glimmers of an idea I had long ago about how to represent vector spaces in computational processes using this recursive abstract type : abstype 'a point = POINT of {getx : 'a vector, diff : 'a point -> 'a point, move : 'a point -> 'a point, scale : 'a -> 'a point, proj : 'a point -> 'a} with fun new i (op +) (op -) (op * ) dot = let fun self x = POINT {getx = x, move = fn (POINT pr) => (self (x + (#getx pr))), diff = fn (POINT pr) => self (x - (#getx pr)), scale = fn i => (self (x * i)), proj = fn (POINT pr) => ...
Just testing stuff: SVG You can click on the blue circle: MathML There is not much you can do with this. See Mathematical Markup Language 1.01 Specification 7.1.5 Mixing and Linking MathML and HTML . It's the big problem of how you compose languages. a x 2 + b x + c = 0 You can click on the discriminant: x = − b ± b 2 − 4 a c 2 a 2D Canvas Sound Beep!
