new programming language

InfoWorld: "Whenever a new programming language is announced, a certain segment of the developer population always rolls its eyes and groans that we have quite enough to choose from already, thank you very much."

A few days after Google was caught registering a bunch of Dart-related domain names, and the inevitable storm of speculation, it has now emerged that Dart is a new programming language for “structured web programming.”

A short essay by Tom Van Cutsem, Why Programming Languages?:

When I present my research work on programming languages, people often ask me "why do you need a new programming language to solve this problem?

Why not just implement it as a library?" Or, I get asked "why didn't you implement it as an extension to {some existing language}?" In this essay I try to make explicit some of the goals and motivations behind language design.

Ars: Red Hat engineer Gavin King, the creator of Hibernate, is developing a new programming language for enterprise software development.

On the SaniSoft blog there's a new tutorial where Jatin Chimote introduces you to the world of building desktop applications with the help of the Appcelerator Titanium software.

This is just a series of blog posts so far, as far as I can tell. But Andrej Bauer's work has been mentioned here many times, I am finding these posts extremely interesting, and I'm sure I will not be alone.

So without further ado...

The mysqlnd plugin API is a well hidden gem of mysqlnd. Mysqlnd plugins operate on a layer between PHP applications and the MySQL server. This is comparable to MySQL Proxy.

MySQL Proxy operates on a layer between any MySQL client application, for example, a PHP application and, the MySQL server.

Every programmer should learn a new programming language once in a while. Be it for inspiration or just for fun.

After some homework in C# some years ago and quite some Java at university (again), Python was my language of choice.

This is the first article in a series I plan to write about what I like in Python, what is disturbing but works out and what is really evil.

In this article I give a short overview on my motivation to dig into Python and start with a first topic: The missing braces.

CoffeeScript (GitHub repo) is a new programming language with a pure Ruby compiler.

For those who enjoy seeing sausages made, as opposed to just eating them, we have started a blog following the design of a new programming language called "ParaSail" for Parallel Specification and Implementation Language (not to be confused with SAIL or MAINSAIL, languages originating in the Stanford AI Lab):
