REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)<br />
unmoderated group comp.compilers.hla<br />
<br />
This is a formal Request for Discussion (RFD) for the creation of the<br />
unmoderated newsgroup comp.compilers.hla<br />
<br />
NEWSGROUPS LINE:<br />
comp.compilers.hla ISA/opcodes to SEH, OOP, CTL, stdlib<br />
<br />
RATIONALE:<br />
<br />
This newsgroup is meant for the discussion and mutual support of the<br />
High Level Assembly (the language, assembler, and standard library)<br />
as developed by Randall Hyde. Though Randy's implementation is<br />
not the first or only high-level assembler, it has become iconic due to<br />
his persistent promotion, the commercial (and otherwise) uses that he<br />
and others applied it to, and the task that it served (teaching low-level<br />
concepts to students coming from a high-level background*).<br />
<br />
Another reason for a new group is to provide a commons for all efforts<br />
approaching a Von Neumann Architecture idiom. The current Century is<br />
saturated with a "glossy brochure" potential in faster hardware {i.e.,<br />
mobile computing, modified Harvard Arch, fiber optics, SSD, arduino};<br />
connected usage {i.e., social networking, WAH, SOHO, SAS}; and fad<br />
development methodologies {i.e., FP, HTML5, parallel computing}. Either<br />
in spite of or because of this context, Von Neumann Arch continues its<br />
vital role in advanced research, development, and academia. Sustainable<br />
benefit of this group is self-evident when seasoned coders quest for a<br />
way to visualize ISA processes upholding the "big picture" from script,<br />
interpret/compile, to execute and systems level.<br />
<br />
________<br />
*It is noteworthy to recognize that Randy's "Art of Assembly Language"<br />
[2nd Edition] happens to be one of a small number of {modern} University<br />
texts on the subject.<br />
<br />
CHARTER:<br />
<br />
The unmoderated newsgroup 'comp.compilers.hla' will be open to<br />
discussions on all topics related to High Level Assembly Language;<br />
associated theory, tools, processes, and results; and the general<br />
consideration of the Von Neumann Architecture Machine as a central<br />
idiom in Computer Science.<br />
<br />
Appropriate topics would include, but not be limited to:<br />
Assembly language code tips, tricks, and techniques.<br />
Structured Exception Handling, Namespaces, Data Typing, Macros,<br />
Compile-Time Language (CTL), Classes and Objects (OOP),<br />
Standard Library (stdlib), Parameter Passing, Multi-Precision Arithmetic,<br />
Linking, Lexical Analysis, Parsing, Code Optimization, etc.<br />
Any related languages and technologies such as Forth, Scheme, LLVM,<br />
JIT, AOT, CIL, etc.<br />
<br />
Posters are expected to abide by normal Usenet standards of decorum,<br />
and to ignore articles intended to disrupt the group. Those who are<br />
unfamiliar with UseNet are encouraged to read the standard FAQs in<br />
these locations:<br />

<br />
PROCEDURE:<br />
<br />
Please refer to the newsgroup creation policies listed here:<br />
<br />
http://big-8.org/w/index.php/Creation<br />
<br />
All discussion of active proposals should be posted to<br />
news.groups.proposals.<br />
<br />
To this end, the followup header of this RFD has been set to<br />
news.groups.proposals.<br />
<br />
If desired by the readership of closely affected groups, the discussion<br />
may be crossposted to those groups, but care should be taken to ensure<br />
that all discussion appears in news.groups.proposals as well.<br />
