Loglan'82 is a programming language conceived for object and distributed programming.
It has many features that make Loglan'82 a tool surpassing other programming languages:
- It enjoys a unique safe and efficient system of managing objects, see Safe dealocation,
- It offers modules of classes (class), moreover it allows to declare modules of cooperating objects i.e. coroutines and modules of threads (process). One can create not only objects of classes, but also objects of coroutines with their fibres and objects of processes, aka agents with their threads.
- Virtual machines of Loglan may connect (through internet) in a virtual, multiprocesorr computer.This allows to distribute a computation of a program between processors in a controlled way.
- Objects of processes (agents) can be alocated on different nodes of a network of virtual machines or on the same machine. It means that Loglan uses one model for concurrent as well as for distributed computations. (Less learning).
- Loglan'82 offers an original, fully object protocol of communication and synchronization, so called alien call of methods of an agent.
- Each object of a process, i.e. an agent may create its own system of coroutine objects and manage it,
- there are other interesting and useful features of Loglan'82. Try to discover them!
We are hoping that the information contained on these pages will be of interest to:
- Ambitious programmers -- for the language Loglan'82 offers a couple of constructs and solutions not known in other programming languages:
- Should you manage the memory of objects and to avoid the dangerous phenomenon of dangling pointers? Try the instruction kill.
- Should the software you are creating use concurrent, or distributed computations, or a combination of these two models -- choose Loglan'82. For it offers one model of all these variants of non-sequential computations. In this way you will diminish the cost of programming.
- Please take time to learn about the alien call protocol. It is an original invention of our collaborator Bolek Ciesielski. It is fully object way of calling methods of a thread A from another thread B.
- For those who are creating quasi-concurrent computations (by fibres) we are offering a richer version of classes i.e. coroutines.
- Teachers -- Loglan'82 is a good choice:
- if you aim to present all tools and methods of object oriented programming and to avoid passing from one to another programming language when need arises to illustrate a subsequent tool of object programming,
- if you wish to construct a larger project that contains specification of data structures (classes), implementation of specifications and the verification of the implementation with respect to the specification.
- Researchers -- for the language incorporates the results of scientific research of a few non-trivial problems:
- is it possible combine two methods of creation of program modules: nesting and inheritance? Before we agreed to admit nesting and inheritance we had to answer a couple of fundamental questions:
- How to assure static linking between an applicative occurrrence of an identifier and a proper occurrence of a declaration of this identifier?
- How to determine the direct superclass of a given class?
- Is it possible to extend a class by a function (a procedure)?
- Does the management of object necessarily leads to the phenomenon of dangling references?
- How effective can be garbage collection?
- Is it possible to deallocate no longer needed objects in a safe and effective way?
- How to define the semantics of coroutines in a consistent way?

Fundamental research
Loglan'82 has a firm foundations. It incorporates quite a reasonable amount of intellectual contributions. Below, we are listing some problems we had to solve prior the definition of the language:
- Is it possible to manage objects in such a way that allow to deallocate unnecassary objects in a safe and efficient way? Without the phenomenon of dangling references. bezpieczna dealokacja obiektów
- How to determine the base class of a given class B knowing only the name A of the base class? Note, one program may contain many classes of the same name. It is possible in Loglan'82 (and in Java) for the language admits both nesting of modules and inheritance.
- How to manage objects of coroutines? In some languages the semantics of coroutines is obscure and even inconsistent. In some other languages the objects of coroutines and activation records of procedures may not cooperate, with the obvious lost.
- How to manage the active objects of processes? (the process modules are another extension of the class modules).
- Which tools of communication and/or synchronisation of concurrent and distributed computations are proper for the active objects of processes?
- How to manage the distributed computations?
Some of the results obtained so far may find applications in Java programming. Perhaps there are more applications. For more information see Fundamental research.
