How to Use The Slides
The slides here can be used for presentation
and/or learning JudoScript.
Presentations won't cover all slides.
The first part provides one way of understanding
JudoScript, its idea and vision.
The second part lists most of the key language
features. You may pick and view whatever you
are interested in.
The last part presents some general language
discussion. It may be interesting but is not
important.
About This Presentation
I. Vision and JudoScript Design
II. JudoScript Strengths
III. Language Design Discussion



What's the Problem?
We use many scripting tools for a task: e.g.
Ant, shell scripts, Perl/Python, SQL scripts,
even Java or C programs.
Common belief: "different tools have
different strengths for the job."
BUT, why those strengths have to scatter
across different scripting tools in the 21st
century?
The Vision
Imagine
ONE SCRIPTING TOOL

with all those strengths and beyond …

Benefits of One-Tool-For-All
1. Single mind — synergy
No context switching from tool to tool
No data passing from tool to tool
2. 1 + 1 > 2 — Gestalt
3. Single install and configuration
4. Productivity
5. Maintainability
6. Lower stress level

Vocabulary: synergy
Mutually advantageous conjunction or
compatibility of distinct business participants
or elements.
— Merrian-Webster
"Coherence."
— James Huang

Vocabulary: Gestalt
Something so integrated as to constitute a
functional unit with properties not derivable
by summation of its parts.
— Merrian-Webster
"Chemistry."
— James Huang

Is this Vision Feasible?
POSITIVE!
Because we know what we need.

What Do We Need Today?
RDBMS processing and reporting
Common data formats, e.g. SGML, XML
Work with file systems and archives
such as zip, tar and gzip
Run executables in various ways
Network clients, e.g. e-mail, WSDL,
HTTP, etc.
(to be continued)

What Do We Need Today? cont'd
Script popular resources such as Ant Tasks and

Hibernate
Create and use Graphical User Interfaces
Script Java resources
Script Windows resources including
COM/ActiveX
Algorithmic and O-O programming
Having all these together!

The Ambitions
JudoScript is an attempt for such an all-
in-one scripting tool in the 21st century.
It should excel in these strengths, including
programming.
Some features are really specialized tools,
such as a universal RDBMS scripting client,
SGML scraper, files and archives tools, etc.
It shall be as easy and intuitive as possible.

Is JudoScript the 1st Such Attempt?
Perl was intended for similar goals.
Perl [V1:V5]=>[1987, 88, 89, 91, 94].
The idea behind Perl: "Perl is designed to make
the easy jobs easy, without making the hard jobs
impossible."
"And what are these 'easy jobs'? The ones you do
everyday. You want a language that makes it easy to manipulate
numbers and text, files and directories, computers and networks, and
especially programs." Programming Perl Edition 2 (Covers
Perl 5), ISBN: 1-56592-149-6

The Perl 6 Vision
"The vision for Perl 6 is more than simply a rewrite
of Perl 5. By separating the parsing from the
compilation and the runtime, we're opening the
doors for multiple languages to cooperate. You'll be
able to write your program in Perl 6, Perl 5, TCL,
Python, or any other language that there's a parser
written for. Interchangeable runtime engines let you
interpret your byte-code or convert it to something
else (e.g., Java, C, or even back to Perl)."

The JudoScript Design Goals
1. Useful, powerful
2. Easy, intuitive
3. Contemporary
4. Comprehensive, progressive

High-Level Requirements
1. Provide all the mentioned strengths
2. Easy to read, write and maintain
3. NOT to re-invent programming ̶ uses
JavaScript as its base syntax
4. Strong programming support

Language Features (Domain Support)

O-O programming/scripting Windows COM scripting
Potent Java scripting WSDL scripting
SQL scripting Internet clients
SGML and XML scripting Send mail

Topic: F.S. and Archives

[fs] F.S. and Archives
The versatile copy command.
The powerful listFiles command.
Directory commands: mkdir, rmdir, cd,
pushd, popd.
The String object is also used to represent
file and directory paths.

[fs] Copy Files between
Directories and/or Archives
copy '*.java, *.properties' except '*/save/*, *~'
in 'c:/src' recursive to 'c:/backup/src';

in 'c:/src' recursive into 'c:/backup.tar.gz';

in 'c:/src' recursive into 'c:/backup.zip';
copy '*' in 'c:/backup.zip' recursive

to 'c:/src' Echo;

[fs] Copy Many Directory Trees
into One Archive
zipName =
'c:/backup-' + Date().fmtDate('yyyyMMdd') + '.zip';
arch = createZip(zipName);
in 'c:/src' recursive into arch under 'src';
copy '*' except '*/save/*'
in 'e:/doc' recursive into arch under 'doc';
//copy more trees ...
arch.close();

[fs] Create Executable Jar
copy '*.java, *.properties' in 'c:/temp/classes/' recursive
into 'c:/judo.jar' store manifest
[[*
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: judo
Created-By: James Jianbo Huang (c) 2001-(* #year *)
*]];

[fs] The listFiles Command
It returns the result in $_.
It can return files and directories, or return
stats about them.
It allows you to perform any actions on
files and directories.

[fs] Find Files
ls 'c:/src/com/judoscript/*.java' recursive;
listFiles 'com/judoscript/*.java' except '*/save/*'

in 'c:/src' recursive
order by date // size/name/extension
limit 500;
for f in $_ { println f; }
listFiles 'com/judoscript/*.java'
in 'c:/src' recursive as tree;
for f in $_.bfsAllNodes() { println f.path; }

[fs] Get File Stats
listFiles '*.java' recursive size;
listFiles '*.java' recursive count;
listFiles '*.java' recursive lines;
listFiles '*.java' recursive words;
listFiles '*.java' in 'src.zip' recursive

compressedSize;

[fs] Operate on Files
listFiles '*.java' setFileTime;
listFiles '*.java' setFileTime Date(2002,4,5,11,30);
listFiles '*.java' setReadOnly;
listFiles '*.java' // arbitrary shell operation

exec isWindows() ? 'attrib +r $_' : 'chmod a+r $_';
listFiles '*.java' { // arbitrary operation

if getFileAsString($_).contains('Judo') {
println 'File $_ contains "Judo".';
}
}

Topic: I/O and Logging

[io] The Print Family Commands
The print, println and flush
commands.
Can write text to stdout, stderr, log
and any text files and output streams.
Easy and powerful formatting: alignment
and repeating options.

[io] Printing to different targets
println 'Hello, world!';
println<out> 'Hello, world!';
println<err> 'Well, shit happens.';
println<log> 'Oh yeah!';
f = openTextFile('foo.txt', 'w');
println<f> 'Lah lah lah lah laah lah.';
f.close();
sw = createStringWriter();
for x from 1 to 10 { println<sw> '#', x, ' '; };
println sw.toString();

[io] Printing with formatting
println 'abcdefg':<9, 123:>5, 123.45:*5.3, '*'{5};
name = 'James Huang';

println name, nl, '-'{name.length()};
// print a text file with line numbers:

do 'judo.java' as lines {
println loopIndex()+1:>3, ': ', $_;
}

Topic: Run Executables

[exec] The exec Command
Supports sophisticated command-lines, including
piping and redirections.
Can take multiple lines for readability.
Can specify the starting directory and
environment variables.
Run asynchronously and synchronously, and
return the executable exit value.
Can pump input to and read output from the
executable, simultaneously or individually.

[exec] Run javac
exec /bg 'javac *.java';
exec 'javac *.java'

with CLASSPATH='${CLASSPATH}${:}${lib}/mylibs.jar';
exec [[* javac ${src}/*.java

${src}/com/judoscript/*.java
${src}/com/judoscript/util/*.java
*]]
from '${JDK13HOME}/bin/';

[exec] Command-lines
exec 'java test.Echo < out_err.judo > alfa';
prg = 'java test.Echo';

exec '${prg} < tee.judo > a.dump | ${prg}';

[exec] Interact with executables
exec <a> 'java test.Hello';
println 'Return status code: ', a;
exec /needSystemIn 'java test.ToLower'

output {
while (line=readPipe()) != eof {
println ' #', loopIndex()+1, ': ', line;
}
}
println `dir *.java`;
for x in ``dir *.java`` { println x; }

[exec] Pump and Read Executable
exec 'java test.ToLower | java test.Echo'
input {
println <pipe> 'Cheers!';
}
exec 'java test.ToLower | java test.Echo'

input { // feed input to the cmdline
println <pipe> 'Hello, World!';
}
output { // read output from the cmdline
while (line = readPipe()) != eof {
println 'Line #', loopIndex()+1, ': ', line;
}
}

Topic: Java Scripting

[java] Use and Extend Java
Use all public Java classes and arrays.
Can extend Java classes, including
anonymous Java adapters.
Can alias Java static methods into
JudoScript functions.
Field accesses for Java getter/setters.
Consistent syntactic sugar for major Java
container data structures.

[java] Create/Use Java Objects
list = new java::ArrayList;
list.add('abc'); list.add(1); list.add(2.5);
for x in list { println x; }
Int = new java::Integer(1);

println Int.class.name; // = Int.getClass().getName()
import javax.swing.*;
frm = new java::JFrame('Simplest GUI');
frm.setVisible(true);

[java] Create/Use Java Arrays
arr = new java::int[]{ 1, 2, 3 };
for x in arr { println x; }
arr = new java::byte[3];
arr[0]=2; arr[1]=4; arr[2]=6;
arr = new java::String[]{ 'aa', 'bb', 'cc' };
arr = new java::Button[5];
arr[0] = new java::Button('button 1');
arr[1] = new java::Button('button 2');

[java] Use Java Static Members
println (java::System).currentTimeMillis();
println System::currentTimeMillis();
cls = java::System;
cls.out.println('Hello, World!');
import java.sql.Types;
for sqlType in [ 'BIT', 'TINYINT', 'SMALLINT' ] {
println sqlType, ' = ', Types.(sqlType);
}
function pickTrash for System::gc; // aliasing

pickTrash();
[java] Extend Classes/Interfaces
import javax.swing.JButton;
class MyButton extends java::JButton {
boolean isSubmit;
constructor title {
super(title);
isSubmit = false;
}
void setText(String title) {
super.setText(title);
isSubmit = title.equalsIgnoreCase('submit');
}
}

[java] Java Adapters
import java.awt.event.*;
listner = new java::ActionListner, textListener {

void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
println 'Action done: ', ae.getActionCommand();
}
void textValueChanged(TextEvent te) {
println 'Text changed: ', te.paramString();
}
}

Topic: Programming

[prog] General Programming
Superset of JavaScript programming.
Genuine O-O programming support.
Very powerful data structures.
Thread programming.
More intuitive syntactic sugar.
We have seen programming in various demos, so here we
just show very few specific programming examples.

[prog] String
String has many methods; its collection of
methods is a union of the following:
java.lang.String
JavaScript String object
StringUtils and StringEscapeUtils in
org.apache.commons.lang
JudoScript's own
Strings also represent files and URLs.
[prog] Data Structures: the Source of
Programming Power
More built-in data structures
More methods on these data structures
Built-in data types and data structures:
Integer, Float, String and Date/time
Object, OrderedMap, SortedMap
Array, LinkedList, Set
TableData
TreeNode
Stack, Queue
Other built-in domain objects
[prog] Array, LinkedList, Set
arr = [ 1, 'abc', Date(2001,11,16) ];
list = LinkedList[ 1, 'abc', Date(2001,11,16) ];
set = Set[ 1, 'abc', Date(2001,11,16) ];
for x in arr { println x; }
arr = [ 4, 2, 7, 5, 10, 9 ];
println 'Length: ', arr.length();
println 'Sorted: ', arr.sortAsNumber();
println 'CSV: ', arr.concat(',');
println '[2,3]: ', arr.subarray(2,3);
println 'Average: ', arr.average();

[prog] Custom Sorting
a = [ '1.2','3','3.9','1.10','1.2.1','2.3','3' ];
for x in a.sort(&my_comparator) { println x; }
// Result: 1.10, 1.2, 1.2.1, 2.3, 3, 3, 3.9
function my_comparator(lhs, rhs) {

la = lhs.csv('.'); ra = rhs.csv('.');
lali = la.lastIndex(); rali = ra.lastIndex();
for i from 0 to min(lali,rali) {
if (la[i].int()<ra[i].int()) return -1;
if (la[i].int()>ra[i].int()) return 1;
}
if (lali==rali) return 0;
return lali>rali;
}

[prog] Object and OrderedMap
obj = new Object(name='James', bday=Date(2001,11,16));
obj = { name='James', bday=Date(2001,11,16) };
omap = OrderedMap{ name='James', sex='M' };

omap = new OrderedMap(name='James', sex='M');
println 'name => ', obj.name;

println 'bday => ', obj.bday.fmtDate('yyyy-MM-dd');
for key in obj {
println key, ' => ', obj.(key);
}
for key in obj.keysSortByValues() {
println key, ' => ', obj.(key);
}
[prog] TableData
a = new TableData('Name', 'Type', 'Birthday');
a.add('Java', 'System', Date(1996,5,23))
.add('JudoScript', 'Scripting', Date(2001,11,16));
println 'Language | Type | Birthday';

println '----------+-----------+---------';
printTable a for
column(0):<10!, '| ',
column('Type'):<10!, '| ',
column('Birthday').fmtDate('yyyy-MM');
for lang in a.getColumn('Name') {

println lang;
}
[prog] Thread Programming
const #docroot = ${TMPROOT};
// multi-threaded HTTP server:

thread httpHandler(con) { con.serveFile(#docroot); }
ss = startServer(8088);
while {
start thread httpHandler(acceptHttp(ss));
}
// single-threaded HTTP server:

ss = startServer(8088);
while {
acceptHttp(ss).serveFile(#docroot);
}
Topic: Hibernate Scripting

[hib] Hibernate Scripting
Hibernate scripting allows easy use of
persistent objects with the Hibernate ORM
framework.
Provides syntax similar to JDBC scripting
for querying and operations.

[hib] Persist Objects
hib::setup (
hibernate.connection.url
= 'jdbc:mysql://localhost/test',
hibernate.connection.username = 'james',
hibernate.connection.password = 'james',
hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto = 'update',
judoscript.echo = true
)
TestSimpleTypes // class name(s)
;
x = new java::TestSimpleTypes(10.5, 'abc', Date());
/* Persist: */ hib::save(x);
/* Update: */ x.theFloat = 100.8; hib::update(x);
/* Delete: */ hib::delete x;
[hib] Hibernate Query/Delete
hib::query qry:
select o.id, o.theFloat, o.theString
from TestSimpleTypes o
where o.id>:startIdx and o.id<:endIdx
; with startIdx:Long=9, endIdx:Long=15;
for o in qry { println o; }
hib::delete:
from TestSimpleTypes o
where o.id>:startIdx and o.id<:endIdx
; with startIdx:Long=11, endIdx:Long=13;

Topic: WSDL Scripting

[wsdl] WSDL Scripting
WSDL scripting is extremely simple: obtain
the WSDL handle and use it like any object.
JudoScript marshals any object values,
including JudoScript Object,
java.util.Map and Java class, to WSDL
object types.

[wsdl] Test with Echo Service
ws = wsdl::'http://testhost/axis/services/echo?wsdl';
println ws.echoStringArray( [ 'o', 'p', 'q' ] );

println ws.echoIntegerArray( [ 10, 20, 30 ] );
mapArray = [ { alfa=1 }, { beta='xyz' } ];

println ws.echoMapArray( mapArray );

Topic: MS COM Scripting

[com] Scripting ActiveX/COM
ActiveX/COM scripting is extremely simple:
obtain the COM and use it like any object.

[com] Use VBScript, XMLDOM
sc = new com::ScriptControl;
sc.Language = 'VBScript';
for i from 0 to 9 {
println sc.Eval('${i}+1001');
}
xmldoc = new com::Microsoft.XMLDOM;

xmldoc.async = false;
xmldoc.load('test.xml');
children = xmldoc.documentElement.childNodes;
for i from 0 to children.length-1 {
c = children['item',i];
println c, ' ', c.text;
}
[com] Use Excel
xl = new com::Excel.Application;
xl.Visible = true;
workbooks = xl.Workbooks;
workbook = workbooks.Add;
sheet = workbook.ActiveSheet;
a1 = sheet['Range', 'A1'];
a2 = sheet['Range', 'A2'];
a1.Value = 123.456;
a2.Formula = '=A1*2';
println 'a1: ', a1.Value, ' a2: ', a2.Value;
workbook.Close();
xl.Quit();
Topic: Internet Clients

[net] HTTP Client
h = httpGet('http://www.yahoo.com');
// set header before send:

h.('User-Agent') =
'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)';
// get headers and cookies (connect first):

for x in h.getAllHeaders() { println x, ': ', h.(x); }
for x in h.getCookies() { println x; }

Topic: Send Mail

[mail] Send Mail Made E-Z!
mail::send
from: ‘a@x.com’
to: ‘c@y.com, d@y.com’
cc: ‘e@z.com’
subject: ‘Test test’
attach: ‘${ship}/judo.jar, ${ship}/src.jar’
body: [[*
This is a test!
*]];
htmlBody: [[*

*]];

Topic: GUI Scripting

[gui] Java GUI Scripting
frame = new java::JFrame('Simplest GUI');

frame.setVisible(true);
gui::events {
<frame : Window : windowClosing>: exit 0;
}

Topic: Ant Task Scripting

[ant] Why Script Ant Tasks
Ant tasks comprise a unique form of useful
library of practical utilities.
JudoScript allows you to cut-n-paste Ant
task code and script them immediately.

[ant] Script Ant Tasks
a = 'ants';
anttask::<echo message="Hello, ${a}!"/>
anttask::<echo><![CDATA[ Hello, more ${a}! ]]></echo>
fname = '/usr/bin/judo';
anttask::<basename property="b.name" file="${fname}"/>
println 'Base name: ', ${b.name};
anttask::<taskdef name="judo"
classname="com.judoscript.AntJudoScriptTask" />
anttask::<judo>
println 'Judo-in-Ant-in-Judo, a.k.a. AntBurger!';
</judo>

The opposite of API programming is
declarative programming.

Declarative vs API Programming
Declarative programming focuses on
specifying the solution itself
API programming focuses on the
implementation of a solution
Scripting tools are to solve real-world
