Code to find a set of fuzzy blobs and their areas in a binary image. Each contiguous black area of the image runs a connected measure-blob pro- cess that names it and calculates its area. The set of blobs is collected by the root process and made accessible to the user on the response actuator...

JSON ... it's the intersection of all modern programming languages. All languages have some sense of data, and structures of data. They all have simple values like number strings, and booleans. They all have some sense of a sequence of values. ... Every language has some sense of a collection of named values; it might be an object, or a record, or a struct, or a hash, or a property list, or something. All languages have these, these are universal ideas.

... But they all have the same idea about what the data looks like, and JSON has the thing that's common to everything. By being at the intersection, it turns out to be the thing that everybody can agree on, so it's really easy to pass data back and forth.

Prior data interchange formats tended to try to be the union of all the languages, and that turns out to be horrendously complex, and very difficult to deal with. JSON, by being so simple, actually became really easy to use.

It works like this: I can have a model in my mind of who did what to whom, where, when, and why. If you and I share a knowledge of how to place words and phrases around a verb to tell a little story, and of how phrases and clauses can be nested inside one another, you can correctly guess the novel set of relationships I’m thinking about, just from the clues in the short string of sounds I utter. You thus recreate my model of events in your mind.

Daniel Everett "A recursive sentence like “The boy who was fishing owned the dog” does not occur in the Pirahã language. They would say, “The boy was fishing” and “The boy owned the dog.” The eminent linguist Noam Chomsky has declared that recursion is an essential part of human language and is innate. Chomsky’s former student Everett says that the Pirahã language proves otherwise. The resultant controversy is profound. The Pirahã language is the simplest in the world. Speaking it and singing it are the same, and it can be hummed or even whistled, yet it can convey enormous richness. Among other things, the wide variety of verb forms are used to account for the directness of evidence for a statement. Everett originally went to the Pirahã in 1977 as a Christian missionary. They challenged him to provide evidence for the existence of Jesus, and lost interest when he couldn’t. Eventually so did he. The Pirahã made him an atheist."

This inverview assumes a level of knowledge of the Microsoft's Oslo Inititiative that I don't have. Lots of acronyms I'm not familiar with. They frequently mention Smalltalk. Facilitating the creation of Domain Specific Languages (DSL) seems to be part of it.

"This document provides a high level introduction to MGrammar, a language for writing textual, domain-specific languages. This document begins by covering the basics of grammar development using MGrammar before diving into specific features for input and output processing, and programming against compiled grammars. There is also coverage of modularity, and advanced grammar techniques, including parameterization and recursion. Note: As an accompaniment to this document, you might like to read the MGrammar Language Specification, which is installed with the Microsoft Oslo SDK to the following location: documentsMGrammar Language Specification.docx. MGrammar Basics Consider the following simple set of rules for composing a song: • The song must begin with a header, represented by the characters, Song. • A song is divided into one or more bars. • Each bar contains four values. • Each value can either be a note or a rest. • A note is represented by a character between A and G. • Each note can be flat or sharp, represented by the b and # characters, respectively. • A rest is represented by the dash character, -. • The song can be formatted using whitespace characters (spaces, carriage-returns, and line-"
