Pugs MetaClass Model Picture

[Autrijus Tang]

As promised on #perl6, today I produced a drawing showing how the
Perl 6 metamodel would work in Pugs. It aims to cover the common
elements between Perl5, JavaScript and Haskell editions:

http://pugscode.org/images/metamodel.png

I plan to draw another picture showing the time-indexd bootstrapping
process; feedback are welcome. Good ideas found on that design is due
to Stevan Little; all flaws are likely to be my fault. :)

The gnostic metasyntactic names coincide with names used in the
new PIL runcore:

http://svn.openfoundry.org/pugs/src/PIL/MetaModel.hs
http://use.perl.org/~autrijus/journal/26097

You may wish to first consult a more accessible, much reduced version,
written in Perl5:

http://svn.openfoundry.org/pugs/perl5/Perl6-MetaModel/docs/MiniMetaModel.pl

Other documents under the same directory are helpful, too.

Thanks,

Thanks for #perl6 and #parrot's feedback, I have uploaded several
new revisions under the same URL.

Stevan made a GIF animation showing the bootstrapping sequence:

Simon Cozens posted some questions on my journal entry; he mentioned
on IRC that we should probably bring it back to p6c. Previous
discussion is here:

In other news, I made two more picture today, this time not related
to Pugs internals:

# Pugs - Lambda Camels

Yes, "omega" stands for higher-order polymorphism, as in
"System F-omega".

The reversed "E" is the standard "there exists" symbol in mathematics.

The "Y" letter stands for the Y combinator, the canonical
device for general recursion.

The "lambda", well, stands for lambda. :)

I wonder do greek symbols have any meaning?

I was expecting to see greek letters in a sequence of: pi, epsilon, rho,
lambda, so it could likely to be spelled as "perl"
In other words, "\x{03c0}\x{03b5}\x{03c1}\x{03bb}"

But I probably miss the conception...

Best regards,
Vadim.
