OBJ (programming language)
OBJ is a programming language family introduced by Joseph Goguen in 1976, and further worked on by Jose Meseguer.
Overview
[edit | edit source]It is a family of declarative "ultra high-level" languages. It features abstract types, generic modules, subsorts (subtypes with multiple inheritance), pattern-matching modulo equations, E-strategies (user control over laziness), module expressions (for combining modules), theories and views (for describing module interfaces) for the massively parallel RRM (rewrite rule machine).[1]
Members of the OBJ family of languages include CafeOBJ, Eqlog, FOOPS, Kumo, Maude, OBJ2, and OBJ3.[2]
OBJ2
[edit | edit source]OBJ2 is a programming language with Clear-like parametrised modules and a functional system based on equations.
OBJ3
[edit | edit source]OBJ3 is a version of OBJ based on order-sorted rewriting. OBJ3 is agent-oriented and runs on Kyoto Common Lisp AKCL.
