Io is a nice cross-platform prototype-based object-oriented language.
Does anyone know of any GUI library for Io?
Io's name does not make it Google friendly.
Why was java defined such that methods may take as input multiple parameters, but may only return a single object (or void)? Did it make the language somehow easier to implement or use?
Erlang Shen or Erlang is a Chinese deity who supposedly regulates floods, Erlang a computer language ideal for large volume applications. Is this just some kind of weird coincidence?
What is the most concise programing language?
in case a criteria is needed for conciseness: on balance requires the least amount of characters to create any given program.
In a system which requires use of multiple languages, what are the best practices to ensure a loosely-coupled architecture when code is calling another language's code?
Hi All
Can somebody please guide me in the right direction of creating a scripting language that targets the WSH (Windows Scripting Host)?
I have googled for it, but there seem to be far fewer links related to this than when I originally searched for it a few months back.
THank you
I know this isn't directly related to programming, but I was wondering if anyone know how to apply the pumping lemma to the following proof:
Show that L={(a^n)(b^n)(c^m) : n!=m} is not a context free language
I'm pretty confident with applying pumping lemmas, but this one is really irking me. What do you think?
Write an Assembly Language program named “count letters” that counts the occurrences of all small and capital letters in given below string and then prints the result in the format (Caps, count:: Small, count).Strings is “bcAdBDeCEad” and it should print this result (Caps, 5:: Small, 6).The program should take address of the source string as a parameter via stack.

The National Park Service's Natural Sounds Program collects multiple terabytes of data each year measuring soundscapes. In your opinion, what is best available scripting language to manage massive amounts of files and file types? We would like to easily design and run efficient user-friendly scripts to search for and retrieve/create copies of files that may be located in different directories according a single static hierarchy. The OS will most likely be windows. Thanks!
I'm looking for a compiler or interpreter for a language with basic math support and File IO which can be executed directly from a memorystick in either Linux or Windows. Built in functionality for basic datastructures and sorting/searching would be a plus.
(I've read about movable python, but it only supports windows)
Thank you
What is, in your opinion, the most surprising, weird, strange or really "WTF" language feature you have encountered?
Please only one feature per answer.
Hello all,
I've been programming for 4 years now and I feel it's time for a newlanguage. I've been doing Python, Java and some C++/Erlang/Haskell along those 4 years but I'm looking for a newlanguage.
I'm mainly looking for one which I could use later when I'm getting hired, but it also needs to be relatively new.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
William van Doorn
I was asked by an interviewer today how I would implement Arabic as a second language into a PHP web application. I talked about choosing a unicode encoding for the database and the front-end, and designing RTL friendly user interface modules. And he didn't seem too happy with the answer. I don't really know anything about multi-lingual systems, how would you have answered that question?
I'm localizing my iPhone app for multiple languages, and in addition to changing some of the strings I need to change some backgrounds. Is it possible to query the iPhone and get the user's language code?
Thanks!
I am already pretty good at PHP and now want to expand my knowledge to desktop programming.. which language would be:
The one's I'm mainly looking into are: Java, C#, C++, Python
1) Easier to learn?
2) Most suitable for Making 3D games and applications with sockets?
One more thing - Although I'm looking to code for Windows, I may also want to do a bit of programming for Mac OS after a while.
Is speed of the (main/only viable) implementation of an interpreted programming language a criteria today?
What would be the optimal balance between speed and abstraction?
Should scripting languages completely ignore all thoughts about performance and just follow the concepts of rapid development, readability, etc.?
I'm asking this because I'm currently designing some experimental languages and interpreters
hi,
Can anybody explain me the most interesting feature of C language apart from other languages.
Am expecting some nice replies , so that every one can brush up their own programming skills
i can tell you specifically structure and class.

Hello,
In your experience, what is the best web programming language used to handle sorting and comparison of very large lists (ie tens of thousands of email addresses)?
I am most familiar with PHP. I think that it could get the job done, but I'm unsure of other languages and if there might be a bettor suitor.
Thanks!
We need to write a script that needs to process movies (using C-based ffmpeg) and also update our databases. Also there would be some thread programming to accomplish with a worker-manager design. I am thinking of writing this in Ruby is there any good language to do this, if so what is its primary advantage for choosing?
We are based on the Mac platform.
Thanks in advance.
Hey guys,
I am working on a Natural Language parser which examines a sentence in english and extracts some information like name, date etc.
for example: "Lets meet next tuesday at 5 PM at the beach."
So the output will be something like : "Lets meet 15/09/2009 at 1700 hr at the beach"
So basically, what i want to know is that is there any framework or library available for JAVA to do these kind of operations like parsing dates from a sentence and give a output with some specified format.
Regards,
Pranav
Ok: I edited my question: I heared somewhere, that php language is written by C.
So i have question: what happens for example when you run a function in php such as date("Ymd"); or file_get_contents("file.txt");?
Does it translate that code to C and request to server, or does php do it? sorry i haven't a clue
And if it does translate it and request, that means besically it is C?
sorry for english
Thank you,
Anon Verma
Hi All
I was just wondering, is it at all possible to create sort of like a "Sub-language" in C# OR C++? or would a better term be "Extension"? And can somebody please provide links/resources?
Much appreciated! :)
thanks
