Clojure is a dynamic language that compiles to byte code/IL, targeting both the JVM and the CLR. Clojure is a Lisp. F# is a strongly-typed hybrid language that targets the CLR and employs a dual programming model—functional and object-oriented imperative.

Jonathan also spends a great deal of time thinking about how to evolve the languages and tools programmers use to solve increasingly complex problems in general purpose computing. He is currently a Research fellow at MIT, and I caught up with him at Emerging Languages Camp 2010 shortly after his talk on Declarative Objects (see the PPT or PDF slides). His thoughts on a potential future direction for general-purpose programming are quite compelling. In a nutshell, Jonathan is thinking about an object-oriented model-view declarative programming world. Discussing this idea, he states, "First, restrict pointers with a new object model that uses nesting and binding. Second, prevent cycles with a new form of dataflow based on the Model-View architecture."

Look through the PPT or PDF linked to above, press play, and open your mind a bit. See what you may see. The programming languages rabbit hole is deep. We seem to be hovering at a comfortable position, yet the problems we face will require us to move further down the tunnel to discover new means of algorithmic expression and code design. Jump in.

It was great to learn about so many new (and not-so-new) approaches to programming language design. The event was set up to ensure the maximum number of sessions in an 8-hour chunk of time, and you will soon be able to watch all the sessions on the Emerging Langs website (perhaps in a few weeks, so keep on checking!).

I caught up with a few folks after each long day of sessions, and over the coming days I'll be posting those conversations here. First up is one of my favorite language designers and personalities, Gilad Bracha. Gilad has no problem expressing his opinions and this is a great trait. He's also a great language designer and his Newspeak programming language is steadily maturing. In this conversation, we discuss a whole range of topics, from what's new in Newspeak to what's wrong with the web (from a languages and tools point of view). As always, this conversation just happened (C9 Classic, as it were...). We sat down, turned the camera on, and this is the rabbit hole we jumped down. It's always great to chat with Gilad.

Tune in.

Enjoy.
