paradigm-shift-2
A paradigm shift (or revolutionary science) is, according to Thomas Kuhn, in his influential book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962), a change in the basic assumptions, or paradigms, within the ruling theory of science. It is in contrast to his idea of normal science.

metacall()()()™

metacall broadly means: “call of calls”

Part 3 : C++ Binding

It is not attached to any programing language, yet metacall as a concept is born (and bred) in the domain of type-less JavaScript.  Slight difficulty is that good old/new/standard C++, is v.s. JavaScript, one strongly typed language. In English: types are everything.

Also, C++ is  compiled language, vs dynamic (interpreted) JavaScript. Although, metaclass is already implemented in C#. And conceptualy, as far as types are concerned, C# is somewhere in between, (but not in the middle !) even in it’s latest reincarnation.

Ditto, I think metacall must be implemented in C++ too. Let’s jump into the deep.

metacall()()()™ + project Euler

Developing Software and IT systems

 

[Note: metacall base article]

I am currently in the stage of searching for simple but valid examples of metacall validity (aka: usefulness) as interfacing concept and programming idiom.

And, I think I have found one. metacall + project Euler. The mathematical nature of some computational problems make them a great fit for the functional paradigm. For those of you who don’t know, “Project Euler is a series of challenging mathematical/computer programming problems…” (ProjectEuler.net). I have concluded I could use the simple and interesting solution for a problem from “Project Euler” to show metacall in action.
