Topic: Computer language



  
 Computer language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A computer language is a language used by, or in association with, computers.
Often, the term is used synonymously with programming language, but in general a computer language need not be a programming language.
Programming languages foster the communication of programs among programmers and computers; markup languages communicate the formatting or structure of documents among humans and computers; and so on.

 The History of Computer Programming Languages
The language was designed at IBM for scientific computing.
It was the first computer language for electronic devices and it required the programmer to change its statements into 0's and 1's by hand.
Computer languages were first composed of a series of steps to wire a particular program; these morphed into a series of steps keyed into the computer and then executed; later these languages acquired advanced features such as logical branching and object orientation.

The language was further extended to use computational reflection to manage distributed computing and other language extensions in a way that is as seamless as possible to the user.

I am a believer in the notion of using a variety of computer languages.
Reflective languages are ones that are designed to conveniently allow programs to manipulate themselves and other programs.

Assembly language is very flexible and powerful; anything that the hardware of the computer is capable of doing can be done in assembly.
Until the early 1980s, although compilers existed for a variety of machine architectures and operating systems, the language was almost exclusively associated with Unix; more recently, its use has spread much more widely, and today it is among the languages most commonly used throughout the computer industry.
A high-level programming language from Microsoft that's graphically oriented and relatively easy to learn, Visual Basic can be used to create everything from simple database applications to commercial software packages.

 andrew cooke: an introduction to programming languages
This may not be a difficult problem in functional languages, but in procedural languages the extent (in time) of a piece of data is not always obvious.
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs is a good book on programming in general that uses Scheme.
For example, a language may treat a string of characters and number in different ways (dividing a string by 3.14 may not be possible, even if the string, when printed, is "200").

 Quotes about Computer Languages
XML is not a language in the sense of a programming language any more than sketches on a napkin are a language.
First learn computer science and all the theory.
A language that doesn't have everything is actually easier to program in than some that do.

In all these languages, systems and structures, only the theory of algorithmic and infrastructure systems, and structures, but no particular or specialized uses or applications, are appropriate.

 DigiBarn Posters: Mother Tongues of Computer Languages
This is not a complaint as much as an appeal to take the entire problem of computer languages and their evolution seriously - these are the languages we use to describe the world with, and their limitations are the limitations of our computational models of the world.
Regarding accuracy, a rather significant error is the confusion of frames-based knowledge language with Korn-shell for unix.

 The Language List
Now a web site, our intention remains the same -- to become one of the most complete sources of information on computer programming languages ever assembled (or compiled :-).
If you know about a language that should be added, please share your knowledge.
Early versions of this list were posted to comp.lang.misc beginning in 1991.

This site is concerned with the idea-historical treatment of the development of programming languages as a means of human expression and creation.
It consists of a 8158-strong database of languages, complete with 17215 bibliographic records, as well as links, reviews, samples and commentary where possible.
