The University of Hawaii's Department of Information and Computer Sciences
is looking for experienced Macintosh programmers for research on a
HyperTalk compiler, currently in prototype form.
Requirements:
o considerable Macintosh background, programming in C
o 68000 programming experience
o some experience with HyperTalk, Pascal
o suntan oil
Current research has produced a HyperTalk-to-Pascal translator (tentatively
christened "xScript") which needs to be extended. A large part of the work
will be on support routines which implement HyperTalk operations (these are
coded in C) and type analysis (in HyperCard) and run-time typing. We can
currently translate scripts in a small subset of HyperTalk and execute them
more than twice as fast as HyperCard -- our goal is a factor of 5 to 10 times
the speed of HyperCard.
The position should be of at least 2 months duration. The Department can't
guarantee housing, but will try to help. While we cannot offer any salary
(yet), we can arrange office space, access to MacIIx lab, Ethernet LAN,
e-mail account, surfboard, hula, sun, fun, fame, ...
The University of Hawaii at Manoa (the major campus of the UH system, with
about 20,000 students) is located in Honolulu, with buses to Waikiki and
downtown.
