	Factor programming language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Factor is a dynamically typed, stack-based programming language.
		Factor is an attempt to modernize Forth by introducing concepts from Common Lisp, Joy, and Slate.
		Factor has an optimizing native compiler, automatic memory management with a generational garbage collector, a powerful collections library, and various advanced language features such as higher-order programming, continuations, and extensible syntax.

	Scripting Language
		Language interpreter can be embedded within another application, allowing users to automate application operation, to provide customized handling of application events, or to define new application functions using the scripting language.
		Still later, REXX came along, providing a "scripting language" with syntax resembling that of PL/I that had a rich enough set of control structures and data structures that it could be used itself for many of the things that would traditionally require a "systems programming language".
		The underlying force remains, which is that there is a market for both languages which focus on a low overhead for the programmer on small programs (scripting languages), and for languages which focus on scalability to larger programs and teams (system languages).

	Java Application Development & Object Oriented Language Essentials
		The Java programming language is a modern, evolutionary computing language that combines an elegant language design with powerful features that were previously available in other languages.
		The Java programming language is strongly typed, meaning that it expects variables, variable values, return types, and so on, to match properly, partly because data types are used to distinguish among multiple methods with the same name.
		The Java programming language does not provide this functionality for the programmer because the Java runtime environment automatically reclaims the memory for objects that are no longer associated with a reference variable.

	www.cybermight.com programming - Programming languages
		Since programming languages are artificial languages, they require a high degree of discipline to accurately specify which operations are desired.
		Programming languages are not error tolerant; however, the burden of recognizing and using the special vocabulary is reduced by help messages generated by the programming language implementation.
		There are a few languages which offer a high degree of freedom in allowing self-modification in which a program re-writes parts of itself to handle new cases.

	JakeO.com - History of the C Programming Language
		The C programming language and its direct descendants are by far the most popular programming languages used in the world today.
		This paper will explore the history of the C programming language and discuss the different aspects of the language in an attempt to determine why this language has thrived in spite of there being more powerful and better structured object oriented languages in existence.
		Programmers can have fun with the language which certainly contributes to the popularity of C. Despite some aspects of the language that mystify beginners, C remains a simple and small language that is easily translatable with simple compilers.

		Factor is a blend of Forth and Lisp with some of it's own concepts added in.
		Factor, like Forth, is a stack based language (otherwise known as a concatenative language).
		Whether you think factor is the next great thing or a huge waste of time sometimes it's nice to learn something simply for the reason that it is different from what you already know.

	Factor: a stack language
		There is no good reason one should have to program in C, and learn the internals of their language runtime, to call C libraries, even those involving structures, callbacks, and so on.
		Factor's garbage collector moves objects around in memory.
		Compiled alien calls and callbacks need to be updated now, since the segment of code generated by the compiler to convert Factor objects to C values (and vice versa) now needs to accomodate the fact that objects may be moved around in the middle of this process.

	What is a Good First Programming Language?
		The designers of these languages are domain experts in the field of programming, and thus, are not able to fully appreciate the problems faced by a novice programmer.
		As an example, at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (the author's undergraduate school), the introductory programming language used to be Pascal until the mid-1990s.
		The C programming language has had an interesting history, and has come to be known as the language of "hackers." The use of C in an introductory course has attracted a lot of controversy and there are compelling arguments both for and against it [7].

	Semiformal Visual Languages, a case study
		Some are indeed comparable to usual general purpose programming languages, mapping graphical structures over regular programming structures [2][3][5][6][12][13][16], and others, more application oriented, have a level of abstraction that is closer to the problem domain [10][15].
		The visual language is then no longer a programming language, but merely a specification formalism (specification is used here in a broad sense, since it actually covers most of the design and, hopefully, the major part of the implementation).
		The interpreter for the conventional programming language would then have to be integrated into the graphical interpreter to allow the latter to invoke the former for a code segment item of the graphical specification.

	Factor (programming language) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Factor is a dynamically typed concatenative programming language whose design and implementation is led by Slava Pestov.
		One of Factor's main goals is to be useful for interactive and test-driven development, which is why Factor is, at its core, a safe version of Forth.
		The native runtime of the C version is continually shrinking as an increasing proportion of Factor is self-hosted.

	STSC CrossTalk - SEPR and Programming Language Selection - Feb 2003 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Program managers are once again required to cope with a multiple-language policy rather than a single-language policy.
		Gone are the days when a program manager would be able to insist on a validated compiler for the chosen programming language.
		Paige's SEPR memo suggests that programming language selection should be a carefully considered process with the decision made on the basis of criteria derived from the project requirements.

	Factor Programming Language Win32 alien interface
		I was doing my daily JRoller reading and by chance, caught Slava's recent blog entry on the factor programming language and not using loops or recursion.
		As I mentioned earlier, factor and jedit are both opensource projects, it will take you 10 minutes to download and install.
		I would suggest exploring languages as well, including Lisp, Python, so that you can get a feel for the Factor influences(Python is not an influence, but Java/C is probably on the other end of the spectrum).

	Computer Programming, Services, Language
		Personal programming will become more important (and feasible) at this scale, while mass peer review will become relatively less important, due to diminished returns (the logistics of integrating bug fixes from thousands of sources is already a formidable task).
		It is well understood that there is something of a dichotomy between "general" programming languages on the one hand and "domain-specific" languages on the other.
		For this discussion, we use the term "general" in a broad and loose sense, to include functional programming languages and possibly even logic programming languages, to the extent to which they are usable as a general programming tool.

	Keith Devens - Weblog: Adam Langley on Factor - January 17, 2006
		Factor - a programming language; very Forth like.
		They have nice advantages: factoring out functions is stupidly easy and when the data flow works, it's very elegant.
		None the less, factor has a good environment (based on jEdit, by the same author) and Erlang like concurrency.

		All of these programming languages are basically rounding errors when all you do is show them as a percentage of all jobs.
		This seems to be not due to a sudden decline in interest in those two languages, but because of an increase in interest in other languages.
		A clear example is Delphi, it is a very popular language, but few books are publish by year (3,4) based on the TIOBE ranking, the distance in popularity between C# and Delphi is of less than 1%.

	Ideal Programming Language
		If the query is not dependent on run-time data in your program, you typically define it in the database and refer to it using a name string (or a trivial SQL query string that refers to it) in your program (encapsulated or not).
		And some language features have really cool mathematical properties, but don't fit my brain very well (I think MultiMethods might be like this), or else compromise some of the psychological properties that I want the language to have (I'm pretty sure LispMacros are like this).
		The ideal programming language is probably one that fits the way I think and work, but probably would be distasteful to many others.

	Parser for the Oberon-2 Programming Language
		The programming language Oberon is the latest generation in the Wirth family of languages, an heir to the Pascal and Modula tradition.
		Whatever its merits as a programming language, its design clearly has the compiler writer in mind.
		The language is small, its syntax is well defined and relatively easily parsed, and most of the features of the language can be understood from the language report, an incredibly concise document when compared to other languages of similar power.

	The Shakespeare Programming Language
		In the Hello World program, only two kinds of sentences are used: output, which causes output to the screen, and statements, which cause the second person to assume a certain value.
		The whole program is a long sequence of constructing a number, writing the corresponding character, constructing the next number, writing the corresponding character, and so on.
		One might almost say that the language described this far ought to be able to do anything that can be done with other programming languages, albeit more flowery, were it not for the fact that the storage capacity is severely limited.
