| Name: | Integration of various programming languages into Pogamut | |
| You will learn: | Software packages, various languages | |
| Difficulty: | moderate | |
| Excitement: | Have you always wanted to know what Python, Ruby, Scala and other languages are but have no project where to test them? And score points the very same time at MFF? You've found it! | |
| Description: | The Pogamut platform are running on top of Java Virtual Machine (JVM) providing a quick way for coding bot behavior in Java programming language. But JVM offers more! There exist many languages which can interpreted by JVM apart Java (either via interpreter implemented in Java or via compiler that produces Java Bytecode). Ruby, Python, PHP, Scala, Javascript and many more. And that's exactly what this project is all about. We would like to check whether these languages can be truly used with Pogamut. So the main part of work will be to sit down and get these languages up and running in JVM and test whether they are suitable for Pogamut. And we're pretty sure they are, because it will eventually comes down to the question "how the language are representing classes / objects" and how to map them to Java classes/objects of the Pogamut platform (which is pretty easy in case of Python for an instance!). |
