Finally, we discuss a general method for creating a new language facility by reviewing the processes of designing these two language facilities. These languages can be split into two classes: causal languages, where models are expressed using directed equations; and non-causal languages, where models are expressed using undirected equations. This thesis explores novel implementation techniques aimed at improving the performance of existing implementations of FRP and FHM, and other expressive modelling languages built on similar ideas. Compared with current approaches to FRP and FHM implementation, there is greater commonality between the implementation approaches described here, suggesting a possible way forward towards a future non-causal modelling language supporting FRP-like features, resulting in an even more expressive modelling language.
