Languages panorama

Languages we will see:

  • Scheme , for basics, memory management, introduction to functional programming and object orientation, meta-stuff
  • Haskell , for static type systems and algebraic data types, functional "purity"
  • Erlang, for concurrency-oriented programming

Not very useful to write real stuff, more useful to learn new concepts and be flexible. Probably we will never used this languages in our careers. A brief history of programming languages:

  • 1957 Fortran (Formula Translator)
  • 1958 LISP (LISt Processor)
  • 1959 COBOL (Common Business Oriented Language)
  • 1960 ALGOL 60 (Algorithmic Language)
  • 1964 BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code)
  • 1967 Simula (first object-oriented lang.)
  • 1970 Pascal, Forth
  • 1972 C, Prolog (Datalog is a non-Turing complete subset of Prolog), Smalltalk
  • 1975 Scheme (Lisp + Algol)
  • 1978 ML (Meta-Language)
  • 1980 Ada
  • 1983 C++, Objective-C
  • 1984 Common Lisp (Lisp + OO)
  • 1986 Erlang
  • 1987 Perl
  • 1990 Haskell
  • 1991 Python
  • 1995 Java, JavaScript, Ruby, PHP
  • 2001 C# (basically a variant of Java for dot environment)
  • 2002 F#
  • 2003 Scala (strange mix, quite interesting)
  • 2007 Clojure
  • 2009 Go
  • 2011 Dart
