LATEST EPISODE 🔗

We are engaged in the design of a new object-oriented educational programming language called Grace. Our motivation is frustration with available languages, none of which seems to be suited to our target audience: students in the first two programming courses who are learning to program in an objec…

R is a strange, deeply flawed language that nevertheless has an enthusiastic and rapidly growing user base. What about R accounts for its popularity in its niche? What can language designers learn from R's success?
The D Programming Language combines modeling power, modern convenience, and native efficiency into one powerful language. D embodies many new ideas in programming languages along with traditional proven techniques.
The next iteration of the ECMAScript standard, expected to be ECMAScript 6, has been making solid progress since the completion of ES5 in 2009.  Targeting standardization in 2013, ES6 is on track to bring significant new runtime and syntax features to one of the world's most broadly used progr…

Julia

Julia is a dynamic language in the tradition of Lisp, Perl, Python and Ruby. It aims to advance expressiveness and convenience for scientific and technical computing beyond that of environments like Matlab and NumPy, while simultaneously closing the performance gap with compiled languages like C, …
Designing a programming language has a strong subjective component. There are features - such as type and property inference - that many would agree are useful, subject to proper language integration. But then there are features of which utility is not immediately obvious, and that could go either …
What makes ISO C++11 "feel like a new language"? What things that we know about past C++ do we need to unlearn? Why is C++ designed the way it is – historically, and in C++11? Finally, what is the difference between managed and native languages anyway, and …
Dart is a new programming language being developed at Google, designed to support web programming.   Dart is a purely object-oriented,  class-based single inheritance optionally typed language with actor based concurrency. The design of Dart is subject to two challenging constraints:…
Until now, the VB and C# compilers have been used as black boxes. You put text in, and you get out a binary file. In our long-lead project, codename "Roslyn," we are changing that dynamic by building an API that exposes our compilers' analysis engines. In this session, we'll go in-dept…
