Darwin is an architecture description language (ADL). It can be used in a software engineering context to describe the organisation of a piece of software in terms of components, their interfaces and the bindings between components. Darwin encourages a component- or object-based approach to program structuring in which the unit of structure (the component) hides its behaviour behind a well-defined interface. Programs are constructed by creating instances of component types and binding their interfaces together. Darwin considers such compositions also to be types and hence encourages hierarchical composition. The general form of a Darwin program is therefore the tree in which the root and all intermediate nodes are composite components; the leaves are primitive components encapsulating behavioural as opposed to structural aspects.

Notable quotes

“The Beagle staid at St. Helena five days, during which time I lived in the clouds in the centre of the Isd.—It is a curious little world within itself; the habitable part is surrounded by a broad band of black desolate rocks, as if the wide barrier of the ocean was not sufficient to guard the precious spot.”
— Letter to Caroline Darwin (18 July 1836). Nora Barlow (ed.) Charles Darwin and the Voyage of the Beagle (New York: Philosophical Library, 1946) p. 143
“Mr. Darwin begs me to say that he receives so many letters that he cannot answer them all. He considers that the theory of evolution is quite compatible with the belief in a God; but that you must remember that different persons have different definitions of what they mean by God.”
— volume I, chapter VIII: "Religion", page 307; letter from Emma Darwin (wife) to N.A. Mengden (8 April 1879)
“To my mind there are no advantages and many disadvantages in lectures compared with reading.”
— page 47
“Animals whom we have made our slaves we do not like to consider our equals. — Do not slave holders wish to make the black man other kind? — animals with affections, imitation, fear of death, pain, sorrow for the dead. — respect.”
— "Notebook B" (1837-1838) page 231
“The sight of a feather in a peacock’s tail, whenever I gaze at it, makes me sick!”
— Letter to Asa Gray, 3 April 1860
“I often find myself going back to Darwin's saying about the duration of a man's friendships being one of the best measures of his worth.”
— from Records of Tennyson, Ruskin, Browning by Anne Thackeray Ritchie (Harper and Brothers, New York, 1893) page 170
