Hello!

This is the current Lemmy equivalent of https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/.

The content and rules are the same here as they are over there. Taken directly from the /r/ProgrammingLanguages overview:

This community is dedicated to the theory, design and implementation of programming languages.

Be nice to each other. Flame wars and rants are not welcomed. Please also put some effort into your post.

This isn't the right place to ask questions such as "What language should I use for X", "what language should I learn", and "what's your favorite language". Such questions should be posted in /c/learn_programming or /c/programming.

This is the right place for posts like the following:

See /r/ProgrammingLanguages for specific examples

This paper on the early standardization of Common Lisp (full text) is very interesting despite having been published in 1982, even prior to CLtL1.

By tracing the history of Lisp the paper highlights how the two major dialects at the time, MacLisp and Interlisp, influenced the design of Common Lisp. And it explains why the former was the major influence and little of the latter ended up in the new standard.
