Awesome Future Features

Mason Bially edited this page Feb 27, 2014 · 3 revisions

This is a place to put awesome future features that madz could provide/allow. They are somewhat split into categories.

Configuration

Live

Eventually Madz will be a live service which launches and manages tasks, manages module system states, etc. this will allow for integration into IDE's and specialized tools, as needed.

Development

MST: Module Stack Trace Framework

This feature will allow for annotation of stack traces with module boundaries, and merge multiple languages call stacks.

Deployment

ELM: External Library Manager

A tool to manage external libraries. Would be able to download a plugin, containing arbitrary code, to deploy a library. Helper modules could provide common tasks, downloading from source forge, build cmake, etc. Often a library can be deployed in two forms, the runtime and the development kit. Plugins should also provide the ability to configure existing installations, and on systems with package managers, this should be automatic.

Runtime

ER: Exceptional Restart (or Exception Replacement)

A shared system for managing exceptions between runtimes. Borrowing from lisp's restarts.
