ALCoL experiments
A bunch of experiments doing component-based software engineering in Java/Kotlin.
These experiments have been inspired by the Architecture Logicielle et Composants Logiciels course at the University of Toulouse, and IRIT's Make Agents Yourself tool.
In no particular order, the repository structure (currently, subject to change (will change)):
- docs: Design docs and write-ups about the experiments I'm doing and the results.
- playground: Where most of the early experimentation happens. Usually not well documented besides code comments.
Why Kotlin?
Kotlin provides a lot of useful syntax sugar and features, such as null safety, merged property declaration and initialization, delegation, delegated properties, straightforward generic variance.
I assumed those would make a handful of tasks less verbose and more pleasant/idiomatic, and know that Kotlin does sometimes produce optimized bytecode for those (and other constructs) thanks to being first-party language features.
It does have cons though, such as making classes final by default (this can be changed by using the all-open compiler plugin though), and being much less widespread than Java.
I do intend to explore what can be done in Java later. A rough draft will probably be very easy to draft from the Kotlin code, although I intend on exploring the build plugin approach and provide annotations (similarly to what Lombok does) that'd get transformed at build time. (Or perhaps at runtime using reflection, but that's very likely to take forever to start... like a Spring Boot app >:))
Notes
Here are some random, hastily-written notes, in no particular order, about the current state of things. They're mostly for myself but may be helpful to whoever tries to wander in the source code right now... 🫠
playgroundstructuredev.cynthia.alcol.sys: CBSE support lib/rt, intended to be fully isolated from the component world. For now, will just be tucked in the main project for quick prototyping.dev.cynthia.alcol.simple: A simple example, with just 2 components and 1 composite. Taken from the ALCoL course.dev.cynthia.alcol.swappable: Example of a reconfigurable composition, with a component being swapped at runtime.dev.cynthia.alcol.patterns: Quick examples of how certain design patterns look.

This repository contains software and its associated
design documentation related to component-based software
engineering (CBSE). It explores approaches to build
software using this paradigm in Java/Kotlin in quest of a
lightweight methodology requiring little to no additional
tooling.
