Programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2161 words) |
 | A programming language is a stylized communication technique intended to be used for controlling the behaviour of a machine (often a computer). |
 | Programming languages are not error tolerant; however, the burden of recognizing and using the special vocabulary is reduced by help messages generated by the programming language implementation. |
 | The rigorous definition of the meaning of programming languages is the subject of formal semantics. |
| Oz programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (432 words) |
 | Oz is a concurrency-oriented language, as the term was introduced by Joe Armstrong, the main designer of the Erlang language. |
 | In addition to multi-paradigm programming, the major strengths of Oz are in constraint programming and distributed programming. |
 | For constraint programming, Oz introduces the idea of computation spaces, which allows user-defined search and distribution strategies that are orthogonal to the constraint domain. |
