We
are happy to announce a new release of ParaSail. This new release
incorporates an enhanced interactive debugger that is automatically
invoked when
the interpreter encounters an assertion, precondition, or postcondition
that fails at run-time. In addition, the sources for run-time library
code that is potentially linked into compiled ParaSail programs now
carries a license which allows such compiled programs to be distributed
as the user sees fit.
In any case, here is the new release [link updated -- was incorrect]:
It
is a "zip" archive of sources and binaries for Mac, Linux, and
Windows. Mac and Linux include executable binaries for a bootstrapped
LLVM-generating ParaSail compiler. Windows only contains the executable
binaries for the ParaSail interpreter.
The web page for ParaSail is still:
From
a documentation point of view, the most exciting news is that we have
recently published a full description of the ParaSail language in the
new
academic "Programming Journal":
Please
take a look at this article to see a comprehensive description of
ParaSail, and how it fits into the world of programming language design.
Here
is the latest reference manual (which is also linked from the ParaSail
web page, and included in the "zip" archive for release 8.4):
