Hi, More contributions tacked on the end. Suitability for developers embarking on designing and implementing and language is yet to be assessed.
I find it hard to determine if some of the PL design advice I see on the web is backed by any evidence. Some linked material may be authors opinion or personal taste. Thanks again to all who helped. Corrections welcomed. S. Other I don't know whether these fit the bill: "Growing a Language" by Guy Steele https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ahvzDzKdB0 The remarks on language design begins at the 40 minute mark. (If you haven't seen it before, don't skip the beginning of the talk) Brian Kernighan on Language Design: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg4U4r_AgJU Also interesting, but not on language design: Anders Hejlsberg on the gap between how compilers are taught and how modern compilers work. https://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/Seth-Juarez/Anders-Hejlsberg-on-Modern-Compiler-Construction ACM Programming Usability SIG meeting 2016 http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~NatProg/programminglanguageusability/ 2016 meeting notes: http://tinyurl.com/ProgLangUsabilitySig (Google docs) Special Interest Group on Programming Languages The ACM Special Interest Group on Programming Languages (SIGPLAN) explores programming language concepts and tools, focusing on design, implementation, practice, and theory. Its members are programming language developers, educators, implementers, researchers, theoreticians, and users. https://www.acm.org/special-interest-groups/sigs/sigplan On Sun, Jun 30, 2019 at 12:24 PM Stephen De Gabrielle < spdegabrie...@gmail.com> wrote: > I've added EOPL and some others.
