Hello,
for my thesis paper i need some answer to some simple question.:-)
For sure i should know the answer to this question, because i did my thesis
with ATL but i want to be sure i'm not writing
anything bad.;-)
OK so i want to write:
"Even if ATL is written in Java and the lastest ATL version (ATL 2006) can
deal with rule inheritance, ATL is not an object orientarted language.
It's an language which "works on" Models and Metamodels. ATL is "more"
highlevel compare to Java."
Can i write this?;-))
Well that's how i see this.;-)
Regards
Camil

Camil,
It is possible to write a non object-oriented language interpreter or IDE
with an OO language like Java, Eiffel, C# or Smalltalk.
(The reverse statement is also true)
For example you may write a functional or rule-based language in Java.
As a consequence your statement below
does not seem wrong to me. You make a difference between "rule inheritance"
and "class inheritance" which seems OK.
ATL is a modeling language, i.e. it is based on a given metamodel.
(ATL programs may be considered as models, conforming to the ATL metamodel)
All metamodels are not "object-oriented". UML class diagrams or Java
are exemples of OO metamodels. But we may think for example of a relational
metamodel which is not an OO metamodel. This makes MDE (Model Driven
Engineering)
a powerful multi-paradigm conceptual tool because it allows
to handle event-oriented, rule-oriented, and many others in the same
way as object-oriented systems.
Best regards,
Jean
