  • Why did Dylan lose to Objective-C

    - by Adam Gent
    I have played/worked with many different programming languages and Dylan is still one of my favorites. My question is why did Dylan fail when Objective-C, Ruby and even Scheme have had more success? Was Dylans performance that much worse than Objective-C that Apple went with it or was purely for social/political reasons. Hopefully someone from apple will see this question :) BTW if you have no idea what Dylan is please google Dylan Progrmaming Language.

  • what is stack overflow

    - by Dimitris Baltas
    Back in the days as freshmen in University, when programming in C on Unix machines, a "stack overflow" error on run-time would occur causing a lot of thought on what went wrong. What exactly is "stack overflow" in programming? What are the possible reasons for its appearance? Can it occur in all programming languages? Does it have other names?

  • What makes Ometa special?

    - by Brian
    Ometa is "a new object-oriented language for pattern matching." I've encountered pattern matching in languages like Oz tools to parse grammars like Lexx/Yacc or Pyparsing before. Despite looking at example code, reading discussions, and talking to a friend, I still am not able to get a real understanding of what makes Ometa special (or at least, why some people think it is). Any explanation?

  • Can you do Logic Programming in Scala?

    - by Alex R
    I read somewhere that Pattern Matching like that supported by the match/case feature in Scala was actually borrowed from Logic languages like Prolog. Can you use Scala to elegantly solve problems like the Connected Graph problem? e.g. https://www.csupomona.edu/~jrfisher/www/prolog_tutorial/2_15.html

  • Automatic translation from fortran 90 to f77

    - by osgx
    Hello Is there an converter from fortran 90 downto fortran 77 ? I have a fortran77 only compiler and want to run NAS Parallel Benchmark (NPB for short) on it. But NPB uses some features of F90, like do enddo, smth else. All features are rather simple. Is there A way to translate NPB to F77 strict language?

  • how/resources to compile a procedural language into [sql]

    - by Philip
    I am looking into the possibility/feasibility/resources for building a cross compiler which takes a procedural or Object Oriented language like C, or Java and compiling it into SQL. I understand that the advantage of SQL code is performing set operations which is fundamentally different from procedural languages which generally process 1 at a time. If anyone has done this before, or if it is thought of as too complicated to do or any other ideas/concerns/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Philip

  • Function overloading by return type?

    - by dsimcha
    Why don't more mainstream statically typed languages support function/method overloading by return type? I can't think of any that do. It seems no less useful or reasonable than supporting overload by parameter type. How come it's so much less popular?

  • Is there a language that encourages good coding practices?

    - by Darrell Brogdon
    While I love PHP I find its biggest weakness is that it allows and even almost encourages programmers to write bad code. Is there a language that encourages good programming practices? Or, more specifically, a web-related language that encourages good practices. I'm interested in languages who have either a stated goal of encouraging good programming or are designed in such a way as to encourage good programming.

  • Good language to learn in order to build small websites

    - by mkoryak
    I want to start building websites and charging people for them! My problem is that the stack that know well does not lend itself to quick development, or cheap hosting. I am looking for languages that satisfy the following criteria: Fast to develop in Can find cheap hosting for it Bonus points if it can also be 'enterprisey'

  • convert any language into PHP sourcecode

    - by dreftymac
    Question: Is there any such thing as a programming language (other than an esoteric language such as BrainF@#$, or the languages PHP or VB) that you can "compile" into non-obfuscated PHP source code? Rationale: Swip wants to generate ordinary PHP code because it is so ubiquitous for the types of projects swip wants to do. Unfortunately swip would like to actually avoid writing PHP -- strange but true! Swip is crazy enough to want to generate PHP source code without having to type any PHP into Swip's editor.

  • Other ternary operators besides ternary conditional (?:)

    - by Malcolm
    The "ternary operator" expression is now almost equivalent to the ternary conditional operator: condition ? trueExpression : falseExpression; However, "ternary operator" only means that it takes three arguments. I'm just curious, are there any languages with any other built-in ternary operators besides conditional operator and which ones?

  • Rule of thumb for capitalizing the letters in a programming language

    - by William
    I was wondering if anyone knew why some programming languages that I see most frequently spelled in all caps (like an acronym), are also commonly written in lower case. FORTRAN, LISP, and COBOL come to mind but I'm sure there are many more. Perhaps there isn't any reason for this, but I'm curious to know if any of these changes are due to standards or decisions by their respective communities. Or are people just getting too lazy to hit the caps lock key? (I know I am)

  • Is there a suitable replacement for C++, when I would like to write video processing applications?

    - by Nisanio
    Hi I want to write a video editing software, and the "logical" conclusion is that the language I must to use is C++... But I don't like it (sorry c++ fans) I would like to write it with something cool, like Lisp or Haskell or Erlang... But I don't know if the open source implementation of those languages (I don't have money to buy licenses) let me made a competitive software (in the performance area) What do you think? what do you recommend?
