Talk:COMP 3000 Essay 1 2010 Question 4

Discussion

I'd be fine doing LISP, among throwing out anything good for the other languages I happen to come across. --ScottG 21:27, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Okay, lets all put down our preferences here and set a reasonable deadline of Saturday at 23:59 for a cutoff. Smalltalk would be my top choice. Of course any contributions to any language will be welcome.

I would love to do the Java section. I`ve done quite a bit of development on Android and have also read a complete book on how the Android operating system works. Of course, there are other OS`s to look at but I`m a big fan of Android so I`m always happy to write about it haha.

I recommend we use the habit of putting more recent comments at the top in case this gets to be a longish list. I've gone ahead and stubbed out a proposed structure. Please comment (thumbs up/down). If we all agree we can start dividing up the parts so we don't do the same work. We're lucky as a team to have such a nicely partitioned essay to write!

Genera (LISP) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genera_(operating_system) <-- only for a reference for now
SPIN (Modula) - http://www-spin.cs.washington.edu%2Fexternal%2Foverview.html
Squeak (SmallTalk) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squeak <-- only a reference, says it's a programming language but can be used as an OS
JavaOS (Java) - http://java.sun.com/developer/products/JavaOS/

Not a great site, but gives a nice breakdown of the main points of Squeak - http://www.visoracle.com/squeak/overview.html
And a much longer, more in-depth Squeak page - http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/wolfgang.kreutzer/cosc205/smalltalk1.html
A nice breakdown for JavaOS - http://www.operating-system.org/betriebssystem/_english/bs-javaos.htm
And a very nice PDF for Genera - http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=183015&tag=1

For Java section: What is Android shows the limited role of DVM (Android's JVM).
