Talk:Fortress (programming language)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm looking forward to a release of this. Wouter Lievens 16:13, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

Saying Java is one of the previous works of Steele is a bit deceptive. I understand that he only came on late in the project to smooth out the syntax and some semantics.

If one wants to include previous language work of GLS, one should replace Java by High Performance Fortran where he really influenced the language design a lot, not as in Java. Some ideas, like the parallel for loop, were visible there already. jschrod 10:32, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fortran

I heard rumor that some of the people behind Fortran are working on Fortress. Is this correct? 75.67.167.110 18:12, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Not as far as I know. Here's a list of the people in Sun's Programming Language Research Group. CWC 05:35, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Patents

Take a look at Guy Steele's patents: http://research.sun.com/dmp/patents.php?uid=25706&show=all

Any new language designed by a company would probably have several patents covering aspects of it. Maybe it would be interesting to add a aragraph about Fortress related patents? This is very relevant to language implementors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.37.187.41 (talk) 19:42, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
