Data Source Abstraction
The Lasso language provides the ability to create dynamic web sites or applications with data source abstraction. The language allows programming in such a manner as to be independent of coding for a specific data source. This lets files, sites and applications created with the language be ported from data source to data source with minimal or no changes. This level of abstraction is achieved by the language being interpreted.
Data sources are configured within the Lasso administration system, setting permissions, connection parameters and other relevant settings. Aliases can be set for data sources, which allows for the abstraction.

Famous quotes containing the words data, source and/or abstraction:
“Mental health data from the 1950’s on middle-aged women showed them to be a particularly distressed group, vulnerable to depression and feelings of uselessness. This isn’t surprising. If society tells you that your main role is to be attractive to men and you are getting crow’s feet, and to be a mother to children and yours are leaving home, no wonder you are distressed.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“Might not the beatific vision become a source of boredom, in the long run?”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
“There’s no such thing as socialism pure
Except as an abstraction of the mind.
There’s only democratic socialism,
Monarchic socialism, oligarchic
The last being what they seem to have in Russia.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
