Line 5:
Hume combines [[functional programming]] ideas with ideas from [[finite state automata]]. Automata are used to structure communicating programs into a series of "boxes", where each box maps inputs to outputs in a [[pure function|purely functional]] way using high-level pattern-matching. It is structured as a series of levels, each of which exposes different machine properties.
==
The Hume language design attempts to maintain the essential properties and features required by the embedded systems ___domain (especially for transparent time and space costing) whilst incorporating as high a level of program abstraction as possible. It aims to target applications ranging from simple micro-controllers to complex real-time systems such as [[smartphone]]s. This ambitious goal requires incorporating both low-level notions such as interrupt handling, and high-level ones of data structure abstraction etc. Of course such systems will be programmed in widely differing ways, but the language design should accommodate these varying requirements.
