  • Class-based object-oriented features in class-less script language
    Patent number: 7992130
    Abstract: Dynamic dispatch for classes and interfaces is encapsulated in a class-less scripting language. A plurality of mechanisms is employed to facilitate dynamic polymorphism. One or more target-language constructs, such as dictionary objects, prototype objects and/or derived types, are utilized to capture class and interface-method implementations. These constructs are subsequently referenced at runtime to invoke appropriate code.

  • NATIVE ACCESS TO FOREIGN CODE ENVIRONMENT
    Publication number: 20080295070

A program includes an attribute or declarative tag identifying foreign code associated with a native program construct. The attribute is subsequently morphed into script code that matches the calling convention and/or semantics of a related native construct.
