CS 4023 Programming Language Design

An introduction to the diversity of programming paradigms, and a deeper look at the core concepts of compilers. Students will develop working code in several language paradigms, including a functional language; discuss symbols, types, lexical, dynamic, and static scopes, storage duration, and namespace; read syntax grammar; explain and exploit continuation and closure; critique the choice of a paradigm (Object-oriented, functional, procedural, data, logic) for an application. It's helpful to have project experience before this course. Prerequisites: CS 1123
