Java vs. Lua vs. Valispace vs. Visual Basic Comparison Chart

The Java™ Programming Language is a general-purpose, concurrent, strongly typed, class-based object-oriented language. It is normally compiled to the bytecode instruction set and binary format defined in the Java Virtual Machine Specification. In the Java programming language, all source code is first written in plain text files ending with the .java extension. Those source files are then compiled into .class files by the javac compiler. A .class file does not contain code that is native to your processor; it instead contains bytecodes — the machine language of the Java Virtual Machine1 (Java VM). The java launcher tool then runs your application with an instance of the Java Virtual Machine.

It enables Team Collaboration on all important aspects of the Engineering Lifecycle, such as: - Requirements Management - Data-Driven Functional Design - Product Architecture - Detailed Systems Design & Simulation - Automated Verification - Live Documentation It also allows for cross-lifecycle process improvements, such as: - Agile Engineering Planning - Technical Change Management In comparison to siloed Requirement Management Systems or Model Based Systems Engineering expert-tools, its data-driven architecture enables agile hardware development across departments with a digital thread along the engineering lifecycle. Valispace’s proprietary calculation engine propagates changes instantly to users, requirements, architecture, verifications and documentation. Therefore, its introduction into the engineering process reduces costs by significantly shortening development times, as well as by preventing design mistakes which usually lead to expensive rework.
