Abstract | Water(TM)
is a new Web services and general-purpose programming language that allows
you to program in the ConciseXML syntax. Water is an open object-oriented
language designed to simplify the creation of new Web services. Water is
extremely flexible and adheres to a"Learn Once, Use Everywhere"
philosophy where data, logic, and presentation have a uniform representation.
Water also implements a capability security model to provide secure execution
in protected domains. Water builds upon the ideas from a number of different languages such as Scheme, Self, Lisp, Java, SmallTalk, Self, JavaScript, HTML, and XML. www.waterlang.org |
