The programming language space is growing, and there is no
dearth of languages that are aiding largely in the development of different
types of application. Though, the
developers and industry experts are determined to develop more powerful, more
efficient, more easier and extraordinary programming languages. That can go
along with the changing practices and can bring a change in the current practices.
I must say, these endeavors of experts include various hours of efforts,
researches and hard work. And! then after they bring a technology that helps in
creating different types of groundbreaking application. Luna is a result of all
these practices and endeavors that accompany a vision to offer developers a
great programming language.
LUNA- A NEW DAWN IN THE WORLD OF PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES
Luna is basically developed for data process and visualization, it is an
enhanced environment that offers a library of greatly tailored and
domain-specific components. Altogether, it is a framework for creating new
components. Its name is inspired by “MOON” and also many people know it as
"LUA".
Actually, this language is designed in a way that it completely aims at data
processing domains, including IoT, data science, bioinformatics, graphic
design, and architecture. Evidently, these are the special domains of the
industry that requires a language that can work in the collaboration, as for
the prevalent languages are not able to accomplish the development effectively.
Therefore, this language can be an effective solution for bringing these data
processing programs into reality.
The most interesting aspect is that this language is the world's first dual syntax
programming language.
Yes! You hear me correct this language has the dual syntax representation.
There are plenty of interesting aspects about the Luna, that makes it a great
programming language. When I heard about it first, I really find it amazing.
Not just its functionalities but its name
has also inspired me to learn about it. Therefore, I decided to make you
aware of it.
FACTORS MAKING LUNA AN AMAZING PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
Data Flow Modeling
The luna has developed with a whiteboard for data flow modeling. This
whiteboard is a great instrument that enables users to draw component along
with the flow of data between them. It means that data flow and components can
draw anything on a white screen and it would be easier to see the flow of data,
even for users.
Basically, luna components are nested data flow graphs and it is possible for
users to access any component or subcomponent. The level of abstraction can
either drop or rise. And as being a general-purpose programming language, it
has two equivalent representation- visual and textual.
Powerful Engine That Don't Adhere To Any Limit
The main concept behind building the Luna is that people should not be
restricted by tool they are using. The dual representation- visual and textual,
makes it limitless, as the graphs and code both are potential components and
people can switch between them with Luna.
Visualization And Data Processing
Another aspect that makes it great is the visualization of results. Actually, the
components of Luna can visualize their results and further colors can also be
used for indicating the type of data they are exchanging. Altogether, it is
possible for users to compare all the intermediate results. Besides, they can
easily comprehend the data flow by just analyzing graph. And! Users can also
analyze each step of computation and parameter flow in real time.
Zoom Out And Utilize The Complexity
Luna is
incredibly potential, as every component incorporates a hierarchical model. One
component derives from the other component.
This design allows sudden and gradual changes in the abstraction level.
With this, you can zoom out to see transformations in data from a higher
perspective.
Altogether, you can Zoom in to behavioral components. More importantly, it is possible
to collapse components and mold a new one with extra potential, with a
keystroke. You can also share it.
Faster As Thoughts
The two ideas behind the language creation are productivity and ergonomics. The
visual components that luna analyses are just coded expression for displaying
interface. This language allows users to express their thoughts faster and can
use fewer nodes, unlike competitive solutions. Connecting component includes
connection pen and auto-connection system. That reduces the distraction while
cleaning and consice the design. Yet, it offers required information that users
need.
Luna Explorer
Another thing that makes it a ground-breaking product is its own search
engine-Luna Explorer. This context-aware fuzzy search engine is ready to create
a frenzy, as it allows users to query the libraries for accessing desired
components and document browsing.
This search engine makes it easy to understand the data flow for users and also
can predict their intentions. Furthermore, it is also able to adjust the search
result.
These are not enough, this language includes many more aspects that make it a
powerful solution for application development. Which includes automatic
parallelism, advanced debugging, dual syntax representation, and more.
Actually, there was not a single language that potentially works along with
data processing and development. Therefore, to increase the use of technology
domains like internet of things, data visualization and more, there was a great
need for a great technology.
The team of Luna includes Wojciech Daniło, Marcin Kostrzewa who are pioneer of
this language. Though, it needs to see how long will this language go.
Developers are engaged in development of languages and application that can
bring a breeze of change and enhancement in this market. At Techugo, we are
also using various data processing platforms and technologies to deliver
high-quality applications to our large clientele. Such a programming language
will be a great way to speed up our strives. Mobile application development companies in india all across the world are striving to utilize IoT, Luna can be an easy
option and offer an efficient development process. I must say the language has
the potential to shine like a moon and I am sure soon it will. For more latest updated related to
technologies, Stay Tuned!
