Arturo programming language: Simple, expressive & portable programming language for efficient scripting
Crafting Interpreters
Despite using them every day, most software engineers know little about how programming languages are designed and implemented. For many, their only experience with that corner of computer science was a terrifying "compilers" class that they suffered through in undergrad and tried to blot from th...
Resugaring | Proceedings of the 35th ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation
Syntactic sugar plays a crucial role in engineering programming languages. It offers convenient syntax and higher-level of abstractions, as witnessed by its pervasive use in both general-purpose and domain-specific contexts. Unfortunately, the ...
Crafting Interpreters
Ever wanted to make your own programming language or wondered how they are designed and built?
The Next 7000 Programming Languages
Landin’s seminal paper “The next 700 programming languages” considered programming languages prior to 1966 and speculated on the next 700. Half-a-century on, we cast programming languages in a Darwinian ‘tree of life’ and explore languages, their features (genes) and language evolution from the viewpoint of ‘survival of the fittest’.
A Coming Revolution in Metaprogramming | Will Crichton
A single programming language is no longer enough. I predict that soon, the best programmers will fluently move between languages and the best languages will interoperate well with others. This interoperability will likely stem from strong metaprogramming facilities. I examine how we might build a programmable compiler and look at recent work toward that end.
The Green Side of the Lua
The United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development highlights the importance of energy-efficient software to reduce the global carbon footprint. Programming languages and execution models...
Cyrus Omar
Cyrus Omar designs intelligent user interfaces for modern programming languages.
What Kind of Programming is Natural Language Programming?
In previous posts I’ve written about Natural Language Programming, Dijkstra’s Ghost – the End of The Symbolic Supremacy and Ephemeral Editable Specifications (aka Extract, Edit, A…
Pony
An open-source, object-oriented, actor-model, capabilities-secure, high-performance programming language.
Rust Programming Language
A language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
Toit — scripts and embedded applications
A readable programming language for scripts, command-line tools, and ESP32 applications. Free, open source, and maintained by volunteers.
Factor programming language
The Factor programming language is a concatenative, stack-based programming language with high-level features including dynamic types, extensible syntax, macros, and garbage collection. On a practical side, Factor has a full-featured library, supports many different platforms, and has been extensively documented.
Boomerang | Proceedings of the 35th annual ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT symposium on Principles of programming languages
Bidirectional programming languages are a practical approach to the view update problem. Programs in these languages, called lenses, define both a view and an update policy - i.e., every program can be read as a function mapping sources to views as well ...
