Outsourced compiler development and maintenance
Expertise
Raincode Labs’ unique expertise and position in the market allows for comprehensive and thoroughly documented studies on all matters related to programming languages and their treatment: design issues, strategic options, portability, performance issues, etc.
Consulting, studies and assessments
Migration projects are much more complex than regular I.T business – they can be disruptive, complex and risky to ongoing operations, so it is essential that a thorough assessment is carried out before we begin our work.
This type of assessment requires specialized skills and experience in all stages of the process. Raincode Labs will assist you in identifying the required tasks and will provide the best practical guidance necessary for a successful migration. Our consultants will distinguish realistic expectations from pipe dreams in our effort to sketch sensible migration plans that work efficiently.
PACBASE Migration
When a generator dies, what happens with all its generated code? The end of PACBASE’s life leaves hundreds of corporations with very few options regarding the millions of lines of code they have created in the past 20 years.
At Raincode Labs, we created a technology to restructure the PACBASE generated COBOL and deliver a structured, understandable and maintainable COBOL without any technical dependencies. This facility has been used for a multitude of varying projects and has processed hundreds of millions of lines of production-level code.
An oddball: Jbasic
Never heard of it? It is an Integrated Development Environment, also known as jBase. Like all languages specifically created for a purpose, one day it may no longer fit its original purpose. This can prove to be problematic when a corporation would like to enlarge their scope of applications. Our grammar and language specialists have created a way to automatically translate JBasic in C# with absolutely no regression. And beyond the anecdote, JBasic is a great example of what language expertise can do to address shrinking markets – some already so small that people are no longer willing to invest in its tools.
