Compilers & related

The most of actual core developers of Phalanger project are in our company. All of them have strong academic background in automata theory, compilers, optimization and dynamic languages. Our specialization is domain of dynamic languages that can be interpreted, compiled or combination of both. Compilation of dynamic language is hard job, because behavior is known just at time of the execution, not during the compilation in contrast to the static languages. Hence, it needs robust and efficient runtime.

Implementing dynamic language compiler involves a lot from computer science and it needs continuous research. Basically we are involved in these areas:

  • Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) (.NET instructions)
  • Code optimization
  • Debuggers
  • Intelligent tests
  • Syntactic and semantic analysis
  • Integrated Development Environments (IDE)
  • Interoperability methos between static and dynamic languages

Since extensions are implemented in C language, the performance is great. It also allows programmers to use other native libraries that … Continue reading → […]

    In a recent scenario I wanted to run WordPress as a subdirectory of a .NET application. I also wanted to avoid installing PHP and MySql on the Windows server. Impossible? Apparently not! (I’ll get to the word Possimpible a bit … Continue reading → […]
