• § Programming language implementation

Ideas:

• § Multiple dispatch

• Languages might be the same structurally

• Expression Problem

• Dynamic scoping

• Waterbed Theory

• Codebase as Database

• Values > Principles > Practices

• Interface Inheritance vs Implementation Inheritance

• Inheritance starts with composition

• Data becomes code as soon as someone writes an interpreter

• How to apply architectural knowledge to programming language design?

• “Goto considered harmful” is about unconstrained goto

• Language runtime

  • Languages become popular when they bring innovative runtime

  • Runtime is what makes languages unique

• Continuation

• Why programming languages become popular?

• The first C++ compiler was not a preprocessor

• C language is not particularly good for high-performance computing

  • Fortran used to be faster than C because of aliasing

  • In Rust, mutable references never alias

• C is no longer a low-level language

• Programming languages are empty of inherent existence

• Test your language implementation on hashing algorithm

• Common Lisp is a practical lisp

• Lisp exposes two levels of syntax (s-expressions and lisp forms)

• Scope vs. Extent

• Function color

• Turing tarpit

• § Aliasing

• In a dynamically-typed language, every function is parametrically polymorphic

• Dependency injection
