Any one else out there who used Filetab/tabn in their programing career?

A ‘Processing Graph Method’ (PGM) notation and tool based on Petri net notation was originally developed by NRL in the mid 1980’s and used as an Acoustic Signal Processing language for US Navy applications. It was successsfully used to port ASP applications to a variety of specialized signal processors as well as conventional ISP architectures, and was released with a GNU GPL license for research and other uses.

I'm sharing the podcast because that's what I listened to, but you might prefer to directly read the paper they are talking about, or what her talk.

A Case for Feminism in Programming Language Design by Felienne Hermans — Future of Coding

Adding algebraic data types to Nickel

A recent release of Nickel added algebraic data types and pattern matching. This blog post explains the motivation behind this addition, the design choices made, the considerations around backward compatibility and how ADTs can be useful for a configuration language.

Hey #programmers, I'd like to know your point of view about "The single return law". Is it necessary in modern #programingLanguages or is only about old ones? #SoftwareEngineering #Programming #Coding
I am so frustrated that the #programinglanguages I want probably can't exist

@shriramk Interesting topic and ‘Brown PLT Blog’ on PLT’s research papers, projects and online books! https://blog.brownplt.org

“Located in beautiful, historic Providence, our work unifies under themes of design, learning, and languages. We build languages, analyze them, and take them apart. We create environments and other tools for working with them, as well as books for understanding them. If you want to learn more or join us https://cs.brown.edu/research/plt/

@Scmbradley I know some very old classics like Jean Sammet’s ‘Programming Languages: History and Fundamentals’ (1969) but nothing up to date.

Wikipedia references that may give you a start:

You also might check ACM’s SIGPLAN Special Interest Group on Programming Languages which focuses on current research, but also sponsored the History of Programming Language Conference series and survey papers.
