Abstract
The expressiveness of higher-order, typed languages such as Haskell or ML makes them an attractive medium in which to write software components. Hitherto, however, their use has been limited by the allor -nothing problem: it is hard to write just part of an application in these languages. Component-based programming using a binary standard such as Microsoft's Component Object Model (COM) offers a solution to this dilemma, by specifying a language-independent interface between components. This paper reports about our experience with exploiting this opportunity in the purely-functional language Haskell. We describe a design for integrating COM components into Haskell programs, and we demonstrate why someone might want to script their COM components in this way. This paper appears in the Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Software Reuse, Victoria, British Columbia, June 1998. This version includes an Appendix that is omitted from the published paper. 1 Introduction On...
