Runtime Library

Folder: ./lib_ecstasy/

Status: In Progress

• This directory contains the Ecstasy code for the core ecstasy.xtclang.org module.
• The XVM is tightly coupled with this module.
• It compiles, but there's a lot of stuff not done, and a lot of stuff missing.
• Major reorganization still occurs periodically; the organization will not be required to be stable until we approach the 1.0 release.
• There's a separate, related directory (./javatools_bridge/) that is related to the proof-of-concept runtime.

Excellent examples to look at:

• ecstasy.x - the module definition (the root of the runtime library); contains many small class definitions
• Object.x - the root object
• Service.x - key to understanding the concurrency model
• Enum.x and Enumeration.x - the implementations for enum types
• Boolean.x - to be or not to be
• String.x - the name says it all
• Array.x - the base array implementation
• Iterable.x and Iterator.x - pretty obvious the 10th time around
• fs/*.x - basic filing system APIs
• annotations/*.x - mixins that apply to various things (like variables, methods, classes)
