Jason Shirk has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20180136914
    Abstract: Systems and methods for extending a programming language with a set of extensions using a strict meta-model are disclosed. Embodiments provide a set of interfaces that allow a schema to be synthesized. Syntax is introduced into an existing programming language to allow the construction of schematized data objects. A schema processor module translates a schema representation into new keywords. A document generator module receives the set of keywords and produces output in a selected form. When code comprising the keyword extensions is parsed, data structure nodes represent keyword actions as a set of functions and implements those function calls with the original meta-data. A keyword definition comprises a name and an action to be taken at parse time and an action to be taken at runtime. The default action at parse time is to inject a function call into the code. The default action at runtime is to call the function.
