Hi,
Does anybody know what new computing languages are there in the market?
by new I mean recent languages, let's say no older than 2 years, as
opposed to old languages: C, Fortan, Cobol ... ?
I want to get information about these new languages for a meeting
I am going to hold with a customer.
Any pointer?
Regards,
Jorge

Java?
Does 'computing language' have a special meaning to you, or are you
just talking about programming languages in general?

Re: -.1
Java looks like a recent language, so it's O.K. By computing language
I meant programming languages in general.
Do you know if there are others that can be considered new ?
I have been looking through notes(conferences) but found nothing so
long.
Thanks.
Jorge

I guess it still depends on what you consider a "programming language"
vs. something like a "command language" or "scripting language".
Maybe things like perl and tcl would fulfill your criteria?

Well, programming languages that can be used to develop applications
would be more suitable for my case. Several areas could be considered,
let's say object-oriented, declarative or procedural languages.
thanx.

Dylan is a Dynamic Object-Oriented Language recently developed by Apple. (Get it? DYnamic LANguage? Bob didn't.) Compilers and development environments are now becoming available for several platforms from several sources; not Apple, however, as they seem to have shelved the project just when it should have been coming to fruition. A pity, as I have a Mac, and the commercial vendors have concentrated on non-Apple platforms, presuming that Apple would cover that base. Now I'll have to wait for a port to the platform that should have been first. Then again, I'm cheap, and freeware/shareware versions are available now, so I shouldn't whine. Apple has gone so far as to make the internal design notes available on the www, and they have published the language reference manual. <http://www.cambridge.apple.com/dylan/dylan.html> My summary is that it's like C++ and LISP, leaving out the "bad" parts of both. It looks enough like the Algol heritage languages to please most C programmers, but inside it's a really fast Object Oriented, multiple-dispatch language: clean, compilable architecture all the way rather than C++'s OO-like stuff pasted onto record structures. :Karl. | |||||

(-: but wouldn't 6MB be better?
