Hawaii Keywords: Macintosh HyperCard compiler xScript Hawaii surfing paradise Message-ID: <3986@uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu> Date: 21 May 89 00:25:07 GMT Organization: University of Hawaii Lines: 34 Xref: reed comp.sys.mac.programmer:6694 misc.jobs.offered:3197 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, ...
