If you had to design a study program, with a breadth-of-programming-languages requirement, which stated that the student should be exposed to all major concepts and methodologies that can be taught through (at the minimum) 6 programming languages, which programming languages would you choose to teach…

(Since I just posted this in another question, but my browser had to be annoying and submit it without content first, here it is again:)
I'm a fan of clean code. I like my languages to be able to express what I'm trying to do, but I like the syntax to mirror that too.
For example, I work on a lot…

I am used to programming in .NET. But i am also comfortable in C++ and Java.
I don't want to use Flash as the graphical frontend since i don't like it.
So i guess…

Are there any objective measures for measuring the power of programming languages? Turing-completeness is one, but it is not particularly discriminating. I also remember there being a few others measures of power which are more limited versions (like finite-state-autonoma), but is there any objective…

Delay execution is almost always a boon. But then there are cases when it’s a problem and you resort to “fetch” (in Nhibernate) to eager fetch it.
Do you know practical situations when lazy evaluation can bite you back…?

Can anyone out there name a few books that address the topic of program execution models??
I want a book that can answer questions such as...
What is the difference between interpreted and compiled languages and what are the performance consequences at runtime??
What is the difference between lazy…

First of all – shout out to Peter Adams – from the feedback I have gotten from him on the last few posts of F# that I have done – my mind has just been expanded. I did a blog post a few days ago about infinite sequences – I didn’t really understand what was going on with it, and I still don’t really…
