Designed for Building Large Business Applications |
Sheerpower was designed from the ground up to build large
business applications with evolving business rules. To support
this, Sheerpower provides:
Sheerpower prioritizes developer productivity with its straightforward, procedural syntax. Its language constructs simplify common business programming tasks, allowing developers to focus on implementing business logic rather than wrestling with language complexity. This also facilitates a more efficient onboarding process.
Benefits of Rapid Compilation
Sheerpower’s runtime environment is specifically optimized for performance, excelling in string manipulation and database operations—a distinct advantage over interpreted languages like Python or PHP."
- Code compiling and linking speeds of over 500,000 source lines per second on a modern PC.
- Backward-compatible code, ensuring future releases won't break existing applications.
- An optimized runtime engine built for high-volume, complex operations.
- Language constructs that empower developers to focus on business
rules.
Speed of Execution Assumptions
Resource Cost Assumptions
- Network access is the slowest.
- Disk access is faster than network access.
- Memory access (RAM) is faster than disk access.
- CPU computation is faster than memory access.
Resource Cost Assumptions
- Disk Space is the least expensive resource.
- RAM is more expensive than disk space.
- CPU Replacement is more expensive than adding more RAM.

This also facilitates a more efficient onboarding process.
Benefits of Rapid Compilation
- Rapid Iteration: Quickly make and test code changes, reducing development time.
- Immediate Feedback: Fast compilation results help identify and fix errors quickly.
- Improved Productivity: Less waiting time between code changes and testing allows for more efficient workflows.
- Frequent Testing: Fast compile times enable frequent testing and debugging, leading to more robust code.
- Reduced Friction: Quick turnaround in compiling and testing reduces development friction and context switching.
With compilation speeds of over 500,000 lines per second,
Sheerpower reduces developer downtime and shortens iteration
cycles. For large projects (e.g., two million lines), this performance can significantly boost
productivity and cut development costs by minimizing context-switching delays
and accelerating testing cycles.
As a procedural language, Sheerpower offers straightforward logic flow.
Its statements and routines are designed for readability,
making code easier to understand and maintain, which ultimately
reduces long-term maintenance costs.Sheerpower’s runtime environment is specifically optimized for performance, excelling in string manipulation and database operations—a distinct advantage over interpreted languages like Python or PHP."
Summary: Sheerpower is designed for developing
large-scale business applications with evolving requirements.
It provides compilation speeds of over 500,000 lines per second,
supports backward-compatible code, and leverages modern hardware
capabilities for efficiency. With a focus on readability and
developer productivity, Sheerpower simplifies application
development and maintenance. Its runtime environment provides
strong performance for string manipulation and database
operations, making it well-suited for business application
development.
