#N:uiuccsb:9000014:000:1102 uiuccsb!mcdaniel Feb 16 15:31:00 1984 Here at the University of Illinois (Urbanana-Champaign), we are designing an implementation language for the kernel of the Cedar multiprocessor. Perforce, I am stuck with figuring out what features this language should have. Please assist me. This language will probably be a very warped version of C. Please ***MAIL TO ME*** your answers to/comments on the following questions: * What features do you like the most in C? * What MISfeatures do you DISlike the most in C? I know that these are very general questions, and I don't want dissertations. You can indicate broadly the (MIS)features: "strong typing", "dangling else", et cetera. Also, indicate whether you like the feature or not (e. g., some C people dislike strong typing). I would like pointers to theses, books, articles, et cetera. AGAIN, PLEASE MAIL ANY COMMENTS. I SWEAR TO DIGEST AND SUMMARIZE AND POST RESULTS. IF YOU POST YOUR COMMENTS, IT'LL JUST BE USELESS REDUNDANCY. I believe that you can reach me at: USENET: ...!{pur-ee|parsec}!uiucdcs!mcdaniel CSNET: mcdaniel.uiuc@rand-relay (flaky, though) Thank you.

There already is a Cedar--the Xerox PARC programming environment. It has been called Cedar for about 5 years, at least. Is your cedar a spinoff? -- Mark Weiser UUCP: {seismo,allegra,brl-bmd}!umcp-cs!mark CSNet: mark@umcp-cs ARPA: mark@maryland
