Speakeasy linkules: plug compatible software

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5259451
A universal computer language must be able to evolve to satisfy the needs of its current and future users. This paper describes such a language, called Speakeasy. The paper emphasizes those features of Speakeasy that relate to its naturalness and to its extensibility. Extensibility in the Speakeasy sense means the ability to bring diverse sets of routines under the umbrella of the system and thus make them available to users. Interfacing a routine through the construction of a linkable module, called a linkule, extends the capabilities of Speakeasy in a general and unrestricted way. The concept of the linkule is explained and illustrated by examples. In order to provide some background, a few illustrative examples of the Speakeasy language are given.
