The Rebase column, which has been running for over a year, highlights the development and features of the programming language ooc, a statically typed, object-oriented language with functional programming elements available on GitHub. The ooc compiler is currently Java-based, translating to C99 for broad compatibility, while a new ooc-based compiler called rock is being developed to replace it. Notable projects in the ooc ecosystem include ooc-sqlite3, an emerging SQLite driver; woot, a promising unit testing system for ooc; ooc-glew, which integrates GLEW for OpenGL functionality; Stirling3D, a graphics and physics engine leveraging OpenGL; and ooc-yajl, which provides bindings to the fast JSON parsing library yajl. The language is celebrated for features like generic types, a modern import system, and the innovative cover keyword for type abstraction and interoperability with C code, appealing to programming enthusiasts seeking fresh perspectives.
