Latest Patents
One of Jason's latest patents is titled "Programming language with extensions using dynamic keywords." This invention discloses systems and methods for extending a programming language with a set of extensions using a strict meta-model. The embodiments provide a set of interfaces that allow a schema to be synthesized. Syntax is introduced into an existing programming language to allow the construction of schematized data objects. A schema processor module translates a schema representation into new keywords, while a document generator module produces output in a selected form based on these keywords. The patent outlines how code comprising the keyword extensions is parsed, with AST nodes representing keyword actions as a set of functions.
Another notable patent is "Efficient incremental parsing of context sensitive programming languages." This invention addresses the challenges faced by integrated development environments that provide 'intelligent feedback' to developers. Current techniques may struggle with context-sensitive programming languages, as edits in one part of the code can affect other areas. Jason's approach involves context-free "name" parsing to support entity candidate recursive semantic parsing, allowing for more accurate determination of entity meanings within source code files.
