Towards Self-Adaptable Languages
summary
Proposes Self-Adaptable Languages and the L-MODA framework to embed feedback loops into language specs and runtimes, and implements Self-Adaptable Virtual Machines that plug in semantic adaptations. Evaluations: MiniJava uses approximate loop unrolling on a Sobel filter to cut computations but incurs noticeable overhead; RobLANG slows motor speed and achieves up to ten times more actions under adaptation; HTML applies conditional loading, list perforation and image degradation to the top 100 sites — only 45 remain usable, 55 break.
