书籍介绍
Programming Language Pragmatics, Fourth Edition is the most comprehensive programming language textbook available today. It is distinguished and acclaimed for its integrated treatment of language design and implementation, with an emphasis on integration that is supported by a central focus on programming language design. The book provides readers with a solid foundation for understanding the most important issues driving software development today, and this latest edition is complete with new material and numerous updates, including added content on interpretation, expanded coverage of OCaml, new chapters devoted to type systems and composite types, reworked coverage of overloading, coercion, and polymorphism, and new examples featuring the ARM and x86 64-bit architectures.

精彩摘录
  • "Excellent Compilers. Fortran owes much of its success to extremely good compilers. In part this is a matter of historical accident. Fortran has been around longer than anything else, and companies have invested huge amounts of time and money in making compilers that generate very fast code. It is al"
  • "Economics, Patronage, and Inertia. Finally, there are factors other than technical merit that greatly influence success. The backing of a powerful sponsor is one. PL/I, at least to first approximation, owes its life to IBM. Cobol and, more recently, Ada owe their life to the U.S. Department of Defen"
  • "Declarative languages are in some sense "higher level"; they are more in tune with the programmers point of view, and less with the implementor's point of view. Imperative languages predominate, however, mainly for performance reasons."
  • "There is a tension in the design of declarative languages between the desire to get away from "irrelevant" implementation details, and the need to remain close enough to the details to at least control the outline of an algorithm. The design of efficient algorithms, after all, is what much of comput"
  • "Logic- or constraint-based languages take their inspiration from predicate logic. They model computation as an attempt to find values that satisfy certain specified relationships, using gaol-directed search through a list of logical rules. Prolog is the best-known logic language. The term is also so"
  • "The von Neumann languages are the most familiar and successful. They include Fortran, Ada 83, C, and all of the others in which the basic means of computation is the modification of variables. Whereas functional languages are based on expressions that have values, von Neumann languages are based on "
  • "We have seen several examples already of higher-order functions: call/cc (sec continuations), for-each (Example 10.19), compose (Example 10.20), and apply (page 535)."
  • "First, much of the power of first-class functions depends on the ability to create new functions on the fly, and for that we need a function constructor: something like Scheme’s lambda or ML’s fn."
