Subject:

Description:

Overview of programming-language styles: imperative, functional, declarative, object-oriented, concurrent, simulation, glue. Non-local referencing environments, combinatorial control structures (backtracking, coroutines), higher-order types, lazy/eager evaluation. This course looks at features, not complete languages, touching on such languages as Ada, CLU, FP, Haskell, Icon, Lisp, ML, Modula-2, Modula-3, Pascal, Post, Prolog, Russell, CSim, Simula-67, and Smalltalk-80. Students will not become proficient in any of these languages, but rather will learn what contributions each has made to the state of the art in language design. Compiler-construction issues will be touched on only in passing. Prereq: CS 450G or consent of instructor.
