Abstract

The programming language itself is the focus of this chapter: Fault-tolerance is not embedded in the program (as it is the case e.g. for single-version fault-tolerance), nor around the language (through compilers or translators); on the contrary, faulttolerance is provided through the syntactical structures and the run-time executives of fault-tolerance programming languages. Also in this case a significant part of the complexity of dependability enforcement is moved from each single code to the architecture, in this case the programming language. Many cases exist of fault-tolerance programming languages; this chapter proposes a few of them, considering three cases: Object-oriented languages, functional languages, and hybrid languages. In particular it is discussed the case of Oz, a multi-paradigm programming language that achieves both transparent distribution and translucent failure handling.
