Programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1840 words) |
 | Most languages that are widely used, or have been used for a considerable period of time, have standardization bodies that meet regularly to create and publish formal definitions of the language, and discuss extending or supplementing the already extant definitions. |
| Functional languages often restrict names to denoting run-time computed values directly, instead of naming memory locations where values may be stored, and in some cases refuse to allow the value denoted by a name to be modified at all. |
| 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. |
| UNIFICATION OF SYNCHRONOUS AND ASYNCHRONOUS MODELS FOR PARALLEL PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES (19347 words) |
| Synchronous languages tend to infer semantics from a particular execution model, while asynchronous languages are often difficult to implement efficiently on existing hardware. |
| Programming languages proposed or implemented thus far tend to support a particular type of parallelism and are often closely associated with a particular architecture. |
| Synchronization in a programming model is not really the issue, however; it is simply a means to an end, where the "end" is actually determinism. |
