Procedures
Simple business logic, utility functions, event handlers and legacy-friendly procedure groups.
Safire language
Readable source for business applications, classes and targets.
Safire source is designed to describe business systems directly: applications, windows, controls, reports, tables, queries, procedures, classes, mappers, business objects, web components, help and deployment metadata.
Language personality
- Named blocks such as Application, Window, Table, Query, Report, Procedure, Class, Interface, WebPage, Component, Help and Configuration.
- Source-first declarations that are readable, diffable and recoverable outside the IDE.
- Procedures and procedure groups remain useful for business routines and utilities.
- Classes are intended for forms, reports, services, repositories, business objects, web components and threaded workers.
- Typed data declarations support compiler, IDE, binding, reports, AI analysis and deployment planning.
Small source example
class CustomerService extends BusinessServiceBase
public event Saved(customer as Customer)
public method Save(customer as Customer) as bool
if customer.Email = ""
LastError = "Email is required"
return false
end if
CustomerRepository.Save(customer)
raise Saved(customer)
return true
end method
end classLanguage concepts
Safire now has a broader business-language surface.
Classes
Constructors, destructors/Dispose, methods, properties, visibility, static members, inheritance, interfaces and events.
Object transfer
Table row to class, class to table row, class to JSON, JSON to class, form buffer mapping and class-list grid binding.
Runtime objects
Timer, email, FTP, JSON, CSV, INI, certificate and code-signing objects with main/worker thread rules.
Web and service syntax hooks
- Web app/server declarations.
- REST API declarations.
- Safire-authored web pages and components.
- Browser event queue and dynamic binding model.
- SOAP and WebSocket target hooks.
Project and build syntax hooks
- Multiple named configurations.
- Artifact target membership.
- Runtime profiles, distribution profiles and signing profiles.
- Help artifacts and context IDs.
- Target-aware artifact resolver and diagnostics model.
Current language integration
Source contracts are being connected to compiler, VM and IDE hooks.
The current integration baseline adds grammar registry entries, semantic model contracts, diagnostics, target-aware artifact resolution, object lifecycle hooks, method/property/event dispatch contracts, thread-affinity enforcement hooks and IDE nodes/panels/actions for the new source types.
