  JADE
       
          James' DSSSL Engine

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) : [ foldoc ]


  Jade
       
          1. U Washington, late 80's.  A strongly-typed language,
          object-oriented but without classes.  For type research.  The
          compiler output is Smalltalk.  [Submitter claimed that Jade
          has exactly one user!]
       
          2. Implicit coarse-grained concurrency.  The constructs
          'with', 'withonly' and 'without' create tasks with specified
          side effects to shared data objects.  Implemented as a C
          preprocessor.  "Coarse-Grain Parallel Programming in Jade",
          M.S. Lam et al, SIGPLAN Notices 26(7):94-105 (Jul 1991).

  Jade \Jade\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Jaded; p. pr. & vb. n.
     Jading.]
     [1913 Webster]
     1. To treat like a jade; to spurn. [Obs.] --Shak.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. To make ridiculous and contemptible. [Obs.]
        [1913 Webster]
  
              I do now fool myself, to let imagination jade me.
                                                    --Shak.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     3. To exhaust by overdriving or long-continued labor of any
        kind; to tire, make dull, or wear out by severe or tedious
        tasks; to harass.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              The mind, once jaded by an attempt above its power,
              . . . checks at any vigorous undertaking ever after.
                                                    --Locke.
  
     Syn: To fatigue; tire; weary; harass.
  
     Usage: To Jade, Fatigue, Tire, Weary. Fatigue is the
            generic term; tire denotes fatigue which wastes the
            strength; weary implies that a person is worn out by
            exertion; jade refers to the weariness created by a
            long and steady repetition of the same act or effort.
            A little exertion will tire a child or a weak person;
            a severe or protracted task wearies equally the body
            and the mind; the most powerful horse becomes jaded on
            a long journey by a continual straining of the same
            muscles. Wearied with labor of body or mind; tired of
            work, tired out by importunities; jaded by incessant
            attention to business.
            [1913 Webster]

  Jade \Jade\ (j[=a]d), n. [F., fr. Sp. jade, fr. piedra de ijada
     stone of the side, fr. ijada flank, side, pain in the side,
     the stone being so named because it was supposed to cure this
     pain. Sp. ijada is derived fr. L. ilia flanks. Cf. Iliac.]
     1. (Min.) A stone, commonly of a pale to dark green color but
        sometimes whitish. It is very hard and compact, capable of
        fine polish, and is used for ornamental purposes and for
        implements, esp. in Eastern countries and among many early
        peoples.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The general term jade includes nephrite, a compact
           variety of tremolite with a specific gravity of 3, and
           also the mineral jadeite, a silicate of alumina and
           soda, with a specific gravity of 3.3. The latter is the
           more highly prized and includes the feitsui of the
           Chinese. The name has also been given to other tough
           green minerals capable of similar use.
           [1913 Webster]
  
     2. A color resembling that of jade[1]; it varies from
        yellowish-green to bluish-green.
