In a future post I will probably look at some already existing programming languages and examine how much current languages are able to meet my desired features. Scala is a general purpose programming language designed to express common programming patterns in a concise, elegant, and type-safe way. If you tried to write a program in some highly mathematical programming language to answer these questions, it (hopefully!) wouldn't compile. Types and Programming Languages. I've become interested in the interactions between Parametric Polymorphism and runtime efficiency. His papers on definitional interpreters, syntactic control of interference, practical intersection types, and Algol-like programming languages are widely cited. In the case of SLAM this abstraction seems to be by reducing C programming Language's type system to only a boolean type system, clearly removing the infiniteness of the space caused by complex types. Scala is kind of trying to mix these fields inside the same language. Programming languages and type systems are two fascinating subjects inside computer science, and there are plenty of sites devoted to them. The Church-Turing Thesis; An Answer to Hilbert's Entscheidungsproblem; Notes. A type system defines how a programming language classifies values and expressions into types, how it can manipulate those types and how they interact. The Haskell project was begun in order to unify "more than a dozen non-strict, purely functional programming languages". Booleans; Church Numerals; Notes. I've been reading Pierce's Types and Programming Languages. Erlang has its own coherent model right; functional programming also has its own coherent model. (mirror) We are rapidly approaching that many viable choices for programming with dependent types. Good day everyone, This is my first post and I would greatly appreciate your help. Many languages like C++ , C# , and Java allow you to create objects that represent simple types like integer or float .
