Programming languages
◮ Most popular programming languages ◮ Racket, Python, Javascript ◮ Learning versus Using. ◮ Designing versus tinkering. ◮ Necessary versus unnecessary complexity. ◮ Large programs.
SLIDE 29
Racket
◮ Racket ◮ a kind of Scheme, a kind of Lisp ◮ Paradigm: “Multi-paradigm: Functional, Procedural, Modular, Object-oriented, Reflective, Meta. . . ” ◮ Pedagogical, layered, graded languages. ◮ “Teach Scheme, reach Java” ◮ “systematic design” approach to problem solving.
SLIDE 30
Sources
To get us started. . . ◮ The Racket programming environment ◮ The How to Design Programs book. (2nd edition)
SLIDE 31
Python
◮ Python, documentation ◮ Invention ◮ Ethos: scripting, prototyping, not so much programming as gluing. ◮ Many libraries ◮ Zen of Python ◮ 2nd language ◮ Used in other courses at AUC
