Abstract: Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for using contracts in dynamic languages. For example, a contract can be directly associated with an object. The contract can then be used to provide type safety for the object. As another example, contracts can be used with mix-ins. A declaration for a contract is provided with a mix-in. The contract is associated with a target object at runtime when applying the mix-in. Conditions can be assigned to mix-ins that must be met before the mix-in can be applied to the target object. At runtime, if the target object meets the one or more conditions, then the mix-in can be applied to the target object.

Abstract: A script markup language provides a declarative mechanism for defining script-based interactive behavior and application logic associated with a document. The script markup defining the interactive behavior and application logic is presented as an independent portion of the markup for the document, separated from any markup concerning the content and presentation of the document.

Abstract: A script application framework is provided to abstract common scripting patterns and to provide a structure for scripting. The script application framework encapsulates scripting logic into script components, manages lifetime of script objects, and builds relationships among different script objects. The script application framework can be applied to any scripting environment.

Abstract: In a distributed computing system including at least one server and at least one client, the server simulates and executes a client-side script that generates the initial content of a Web page. Specifically, the server simulates a client-side execution environment to run the client-side script that generates the initial content of the Web page. As a result, the initial rendering of the Web page that a server sends over to the client already contains the initial content that is usually generated on the client.
