Paolo AmorosoA survey of systems programming languages from Ada to Zig, each evaluated according to technical criteria such as performance and safety and a few unusual ones like joy and dread.<a href="https://wiki.alopex.li/SurveyOfSystemLanguages2024" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://wiki.alopex.li/SurveyOfSystemLanguages2024</a><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ProgLang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProgLang</a>

Paolo AmorosoThirty years ago today, on Dec 8, 1994, X3J13 approved ANSI Common Lisp. Forty years ago, in 1984, Digital Press published the first edition of the book Common LISP: The Language by G.L. Steele, aka CLtL1.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/CommonLisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommonLisp</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/lisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lisp</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/proglang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#proglang</a>

Paolo AmorosoTim Coates on why Pascal is still worth learning:"For new programmers, Pascal is a structured, disciplined language that teaches you how to think about coding without a lot of distracting complexities."<a href="https://timcoatesinsights.wordpress.com/2024/10/31/why-pascal-deserves-a-second-look/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://timcoatesinsights.wordpress.com/2024/10/31/why-pascal-deserves-a-second-look/</a><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/pscal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pscal</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ProgLang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProgLang</a>

Paolo AmorosoA list of compiler optimizations with descriptions and code snippets. The entries are concise, clear, and with short, easy to understand snippets. A great example of algorithm documentation.<a href="https://compileroptimizations.com/index.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://compileroptimizations.com/index.html</a><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/compilers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compilers</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ProgLang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProgLang</a>

Paolo AmorosoUncommon opinion (but not necessarily unpopular): I love languages with large standard libraries. I enjoy flipping through the language documentation, scouting for interesting functions or classes that may eventually come in handy.My favorite large library language is Common Lisp but of course there are many others such as Smalltalk, Python, and Java.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/CommonLisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommonLisp</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ProgLang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProgLang</a>

Paul CantrellEarly returns are promising. Students got into the activity. Discussion took over half the last day of class.This is a Programming Languages class, and discussion took an interesting turn: how would •languages• change in a world where we expect AI code generation to be a normal part of the development process, and the problem for humans shifts (even further) away from “How do I generate code?” and toward “Does the code I’ve generated actually do what I think? What I want?” <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/proglang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#proglang</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ai</a>

Paul CantrellOK, trying an experiment with my Programming Languages class!• Have an AI generate some of your writing assignment. • Critique its output. Call BS on its BS.Assignment details in screenshots below. I’ll let you know how it goes.(Here are the links from the screenshots:)Raw AI Text: <a href="https://gist.github.com/pcantrell/7b68ce7c5b2e329543e2dadd6853be21" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gist.github.com/pcantrell/7b68ce7c5b2e329543e2dadd6853be21</a>Comments on AI Text: <a href="https://gist.github.com/pcantrell/d51bc2d4257027a6b4c64c9010d42c32" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gist.github.com/pcantrell/d51bc2d4257027a6b4c64c9010d42c32</a>(Better) Human Text <a href="https://gist.github.com/pcantrell/f363734336e6063f61e451e2658b50a6" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gist.github.com/pcantrell/f363734336e6063f61e451e2658b50a6</a><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ai</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/chatgpt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chatgpt</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#education</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/highered" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#highered</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/swift" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#swift</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/proglang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#proglang</a>

ꙮ ⚗️ pnathan ⚗️ ꙮA more junior dev at work pointed out a ton of newer programming languages I hadn't looked at. Post <a href="https://social.seattle.wa.us/tags/Rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rust</a> languages mostly. It's very exciting in a way. I'm absolutely thrilled to know there's a world I haven't seen. Also jealous, I used to know the hipster languages. Maybe I should take a pause on goofing off after kid goes to bed and write some code. <a href="https://social.seattle.wa.us/tags/pl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pl</a> <a href="https://social.seattle.wa.us/tags/proglang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#proglang</a> <a href="https://social.seattle.wa.us/tags/coding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coding</a>

VegardPicked up my toy language/compiler from years ago and am currently porting the old codebase from C++ to C. Feels weirdly therapeutic.It never really got very far -- the most advanced program it could compile/run was a "generic" gcd() calculation. Maybe this time I'll get further?<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ProgLang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProgLang</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CompilerDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CompilerDev</a>
