@tommytang.bsky.social On #ComputerLanguages for #Bioinformatics There is an era of #Bioinformaticians who learned #R #RLang back when #Python #PythonLang wasn't very good at statistics/plotting. More recently, the trend has shifted towards the latter.

“One of the trickier languages to highlight is Perl. It exists in the spiritual gulf between shells and programming languages, and inherits the complexity of both.”

Diamo un'occhiata a uno degli ultimi linguaggi di scripting creati, approfittando del binding a Raylib, la classica libreria multi-piattaforma e multi-linguaggio multi-scopo. #programming #computerlanguages https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=880rRJnEdEE

You need to put a scripting language in your program. You may decide which features are important to you – size of script; size and complexity of interpreter in your program; speed; programming style. Your program runs on 32 and 64 bit cpus, and even manages 16 bit cpus minus some features.

It's been arbitrarily decided that you can't use Python. The script interpreter will be written in-house.

What do you choose? Summary of merits of each in the next post.

“Los que movió a Kemeny, Kurtz y Keller a plantearse la creación de BASIC fue la necesidad de permitir a los estudiantes escribir programas en sistemas de tiempo compartido, sistemas que por primera vez estaban abiertos a usuarios ajenos al propio área de la computación, que necesitaban poder programar de forma relativamente sencilla, aunque eso sacrificara parte del rendimiento del programa.” - https://www.genbeta.com/a-fondo/esta-monja-creo-lenguaje-basic-se-convirtio-primera-doctorada-computacion-24-anos-despues-entrar-convento-1 #basic #computerlanguages #coding #women #educacion #informatica

I love this piece by @codefolio on the concept of long lived programming languages. Which if any will make it all the way to 100 years? We actually have some contenders. What separates those that have a shot and those that don't? What causes that to change over time? Great exploration. #programming #ComputerHistory #ComputerLanguages codefol.io/posts/the-hundred-y…

That is a magnificent presentation. The music fit the presentation well too.
