Erlang (langage)vignette|300px|LYME et LYCE sont basés sur Erlang et offrent des alternatives à LAMP. Erlang est un langage de programmation, supportant plusieurs paradigmes : concurrent, temps réel, distribué. Son cœur séquentiel est un langage fonctionnel à évaluation stricte, affectation unique, au typage dynamique fort. Sa couche concurrente est fondée sur le modèle d'acteur. Il possède des fonctionnalités de tolérance aux pannes et de mise à jour du code à chaud, permettant le développement d'applications à très haute disponibilité.
Elixir (langage)Elixir est un langage de programmation multi-paradigme fonctionnant sur la machine virtuelle Erlang (BEAM). Il est créé en 2011 par le développeur José Valim, personnalité du monde Ruby et l'un des premiers contributeurs au framework de programmation Ruby on Rails. Il intègre les paradigmes de programmation fonctionnelle, programmation concurrente et , et supporte la métaprogrammation via un système de macros et le polymorphisme via un système dit de protocoles.
Delphi (software)Delphi is a general-purpose programming language and a software product that uses the Delphi dialect of the Object Pascal programming language and provides an integrated development environment (IDE) for rapid application development of desktop, mobile, web, and console software, currently developed and maintained by Embarcadero Technologies. Delphi's compilers generate native code for Microsoft Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and Linux (x64).
Partial applicationIn computer science, partial application (or partial function application) refers to the process of fixing a number of arguments to a function, producing another function of smaller arity. Given a function , we might fix (or 'bind') the first argument, producing a function of type . Evaluation of this function might be represented as . Note that the result of partial function application in this case is a function that takes two arguments. Partial application is sometimes incorrectly called currying, which is a related, but distinct concept.
Python syntax and semanticsThe syntax of the Python programming language is the set of rules that defines how a Python program will be written and interpreted (by both the runtime system and by human readers). The Python language has many similarities to Perl, C, and Java. However, there are some definite differences between the languages. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including structured, object-oriented programming, and functional programming, and boasts a dynamic type system and automatic memory management.
Function objectIn computer programming, a function object is a construct allowing an object to be invoked or called as if it were an ordinary function, usually with the same syntax (a function parameter that can also be a function). In some languages, particularly C++, function objects are often called functors (not related to the functional programming concept). A typical use of a function object is in writing callback functions. A callback in procedural languages, such as C, may be performed by using function pointers.
Java version historyThe Java language has undergone several changes since JDK 1.0 as well as numerous additions of classes and packages to the standard library. Since J2SE 1.4, the evolution of the Java language has been governed by the Java Community Process (JCP), which uses Java Specification Requests (JSRs) to propose and specify additions and changes to the Java platform. The language is specified by the Java Language Specification (JLS); changes to the JLS are managed under JSR 901.
Extension methodIn object-oriented computer programming, an extension method is a method added to an object after the original object was compiled. The modified object is often a class, a prototype or a type. Extension methods are features of some object-oriented programming languages. There is no syntactic difference between calling an extension method and calling a method declared in the type definition. Not all languages implement extension methods in an equally safe manner, however.
