Language Design 101
Some of our most read threads are our introductions to type systems, monads and continuations, so I guess it wouldn't hurt to start yet another getting started thread.
From time to time we have questions posted about how to start designing a language, or a DSL; I think it would be helpful to collect links to various resources that might help people trying to design their first (or second, or third...) language. Resources may include design tips, methodological suggestions, detailed discussion of major features (e.g., how important is type inferencing) etc. Think of utter beginners, but also about language mavens with little language design experience. Two requests: (1) Let's not to turn this into a thread about language implementation tips. We'll do that one later. (2) If we dicussed the papers you recommend in the past, give links to the previous LtU threads. |
