With great pleasure, I accepted the invitation extended to me to
write these few lines of Foreword. I accepted for at least two
reasons. The ?rst is that the request came to me from two
colleagues for whom I have always had the greatest regard, starting
from the time when I ?rst knew and appreciated them as students and
as young researchers. The second reason is that the text by
Gabbrielli and Martini is very near to the book that I would have
liked to have written but, for various reasons, never have. In
particular,
theapproachadoptedinthisbookistheonewhichImyselfhavefollowed when
organising the various courses on programming languages I have
taught for almost thirty years at different levels under various
titles. The approach, summarised in 2 words, is that of introducing
the general concepts (either using linguistic mechanisms or the
implementation structures corresponding to them) in a manner that
is independent of any speci?c language; once this is done, "real
languages" are introduced. This is the only approach that allows
one to - veal similarities between apparently quite different
languages (and also between paradigms). At the same time, it makes
the task of learning different languages e- ier. In my experience
as a lecturer, ex-students recall the principles learned in the
course even after many years; they still appreciate the approach
which allowed them to adapt to technological developments without
too much dif?culty.
