Book Description
Similar Books:
To say that a good programmer can write good software in any language is like saying that a good pilot can fly any aircraft: true, but irrelevant. The choice of a programming language is one of the most important factors that influence the ultimate quality of a software system. Unfortunately, too many programmers have poor linguistic skills: they are passionately in love with their "native" language, but are not able to analyze language constructs. Understanding Programming Languages explains:
- what alternatives are available to the language designer
- how language constructs should be used for safety and readability
- how language constructs are implemented
- the role of language in expressing and enforcing abstractions.
