Reason lets you write simple, fast and quality type safe code while leveraging both the JavaScript & OCaml ecosystems.
As used to author Heaven's Vault, 80 Days and Sorcery!: produce interactive scripts by writing in pure-text with ink markup.
Pike is a dynamic programming language with a syntax similar to Java and C. It is simple to learn, does not require long compilation passes and has powerful built-in data types allowing simple and really fast data manipulation.
Pike is a general purpose programming language, which means that you can put it to use for almost any task. Its application domain spans anything from the world of the Net to the world of multimedia applications, or environments where your shell could use some spicy text processing or system administration tools. Your imagination sets the limit, but Pike will probably extend it far beyond what you previously considered within reach.
The non-repetitive alternative to YAML...
Dhall is programmable, but NOT Turing-complete.
Dhall supports comments, multi-line string literals and string interpolation with non-technical users in mind.
Awk is a very nice language with a very strange name. In this first article of a three-part series, Daniel Robbins will quickly get your awk programming skills up to speed. As the series progresses, more advanced topics will be covered, culminating with an advanced real-world awk application demo.
Simple, fast, safe, compiled programming language.
Nice approach. Still not mature.
I marker this article as "funny" since I can not believe it is serious. Or at least I'm missing something...
Choosing a programming language for a project is a compromise over what you what you need, what you have, what you know and what you like. This post is just my thought process when selecting the implementation language for packnback.
What we need
- High performance, we will hopefully be dealing with large volumes of data.
- High security, the whole purpose is to protect data from attackers.
- Stability, software needs to be usable well into the future.
- Simplicity, the less complicated something is, the less that can go wrong.
- Popularity, this is mainly to help with marketing, libraries and community support.
- High bus factor, will sudden unexpected events destroy the language prospects.
- Fun, something we enjoy using or evaluating.
JSON has taken over the world. Today, when any two applications communicate with each other across the internet, odds are they do so using JSON.
The article describes the history of JSON starting from the aim at having a common information exchange format from XML and beyond.
The Nim programming language is a concise, fast programming language that compiles to C, C++ and JavaScript.
TIOBE checks more than 1030 million lines of software code for its customers world-wide, real-time, each day.
Provides a rank among the most widely user programming languages.
Language Overview:
- As fast to write and edit as it probably gets
- Intuitive and simple - easy to use for non-programmers too
- No indentation, all empty lines and whitespace optional
- No type syntax rules and restrictions on the language level
- Documents map to ubiquitous structural types in all programming languages
- Powerful advanced features - copy, merge, deep merge elements
Usecases:
- Authoring blogs, up to entire websites, from the macro to the micro level
- Generating documentation, invoices, CVs, reports, you name it
- Large scale textfile-based databases and archives
- Configuration files, from the simplest to the most complex
The history and use of parentheses in programming languages, from the beginning of programming to the present day.
Early programming languages only had round parentheses, but later keyboards added brackets and braces.
solidity - The Solidity Contract-Oriented Programming Language
A site reporting dialects from all over the world.
Especially funny the situation in the South of Italy.
Large-scale is a poorly defined term, but I'll take a stab at this still...
