Abstract

Declarative languages are easier to learn by non-programmer professionals. On the other hand, they lack flexibility, being hard to perform tasks out of the language's scope. The power of a declarative language is leveraged when integrated with an imperative language, bringing generic computation to the language. This integration should not conflict with the principles of the declarative language, keeping a clear boundary between the two environments. This work presents the integration between the declarative NCL and imperative Lua languages, specified and developed for the middleware Ginga, part of the brazilian digital TV standard.
