Programming Language Explorations is a tour of several modern
programming languages in use today. The book teaches fundamental
language concepts using a language-by-language approach. As each
language is presented, the authors introduce new concepts as they
appear, and revisit familiar ones, comparing their implementation
with those from languages seen in prior chapters. The goal is to
present and explain common theoretical concepts of language design
and usage, illustrated in the context of practical language
overviews. Twelve languages have been carefully chosen to
illustrate a wide range of programming styles and paradigms. The
book introduces each language with a common trio of example
programs, and continues with a brief tour of its basic elements,
type system, functional forms, scoping rules, concurrency patterns,
and sometimes, metaprogramming facilities. Each language chapter
ends with a summary, pointers to open source projects, references
to materials for further study, and a collection of exercises,
designed as further explorations. Following the twelve featured
language chapters, the authors provide a brief tour of over two
dozen additional languages, and a summary chapter bringing together
many of the questions explored throughout the text. Targeted to
both professionals and advanced college undergraduates looking to
expand the range of languages and programming patterns they can
apply in their work and studies, the book pays attention to modern
programming practice, covers cutting-edge languages and patterns,
and provides many runnable examples, all of which can be found in
an online GitHub repository. The exploration style places this book
between a tutorial and a reference, with a focus on the concepts
and practices underlying programming language design and usage.
Instructors looking for material to supplement a programming
languages or software engineering course may find the approach
unconventional, but hopefully, a lot more fun.
