Three programming languages named L are:
- A programming language started by Larry McVoy, with extensive help from Jeffrey Hobbs, Oscar Bonilla, and Tim Daly, Jr. It aims to wrap C-like syntax around core Tcl functionality.
- A capability-secure and distributed language, developed by HP Labs. It is a derivative of lambda calculus, hence it is small, block-structured, dynamically-typed, and functional. It is both a language and an operating environment, like Smalltalk. It is capability-secure and distributed, like E.
- A theoretical language with three (or four) instruction types used to discuss computability in Martin Davis' Comptability, complexity and Languages (ISBN 9780122063824)
Famous quotes containing the words programming and/or language:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“When you’re lying awake with a dismal headache, and repose is
taboo’d by anxiety,
I conceive you may use any language you choose to indulge in without impropriety;”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
