Appendix C: where to read next

  • The specification, in spec/book/ of the rce repository, is the definition of the language. Start with 00-overview.md. Section 7 lists every rule name you saw in a "requires change" report, such as W-OWN-1 or W-INT-1.
  • Appendix C of the specification (spec/book/14-draft06-concurrency.md) defines the concurrency of chapter 14 in full, with the workgroups, sessions, supervisors, LVars and replicated state this book leaves out. It applies to every module: a # rce-version: line is a release label that selects nothing (specification 2.7).
  • Appendix F of the specification (spec/book/17-draft09.md) holds the draft 0.9 rules: the hygiene rules of chapters 2 and 3, contracts, measures, if let, templates, labels and capabilities. Its section F.12, and rce v09-status, say which rules the checker implements.
  • Appendix E of the specification (spec/book/16-host-contract.md) is the host contract behind chapter 16, and docs/DEPLOY.md runs a program as a service.
  • The examples in the specification (spec/examples/, spec/examples-0.9/, spec/conc06/ and spec/conc06b/) are small programs for each feature, including programs that must require change.
  • The proposal ledger (spec/proposals/LEDGER.md) records every proposal to change the language and its decision.
  • programs/ has longer programs grouped by area, among them data, hardware, media, money, networks, science, systems and text.
  • ide/ in the repository holds the RCE IDE, whose checker and language server are the ones this book uses.
