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’.
Its Time for a New Programming Language
Today, when compared to any other point in programming history, we find ourselves spoiled for choice when it comes to programming…
What Kind of Programming is Natural Language Programming?

madhadron - The seven programming ur-languages
I regularly hear people asking which programming language to learn, and then reeling off a list of very similar languages (“Should I learn Java, C#, C++, Python, or Ruby?”). In response I usually tell them that it doesn’t really matter, as long as they get started. There are fundamentals behind them.
The Return of Language-Oriented Programming | Middle of Nowhere
I’ve been wondering what LLMs mean for language design and implementation. Some believe that, because language models are obviously trained on existing content, they are inherently less capable of assisting users with new programming languages. Intuitively this makes sense. However:
