Koka: a Functional Language with Effects Koka v2 is a research language that currently under heavy development with the new C backend Latest release: v2.1.9, 2021-06-23 (Install). Koka is a strongly typed functional-style language with effect types and handlers. The core of Koka consists of a small set of well-studied language features, like first-class functions, a polymorphic type- and effect system, algebraic data types, and effect handlers. Each of these is composable and avoid the addition of “special” extensions by being as general as possible. Koka tracks the (side) effects of eve...

William Byrd explains the ideas behind logic programming languages (like Prolog) and relational programming. Also: miniKanren and core.logic, program synthesis, and much more.

Functional programming is an increasing popular programming paradigm with many languages building or already supporting it. Go already supports some of these features such as first-class and higher order functions and enabling functional programming. One key feature that’s been missing from Go is generics. Without this feature, functional Go libraries and applications are forced down one of two paths: type safe + use-case specific or type-unsafe + use-case agnostic. With the upcoming release of Go 1.18 in early 2022, generics are expected to be added to the language which will enable new so...

A little context: I got introduced to UML in around 2008, at an employer who had a site licence for Enterprise Architect. I was sent on a training course run by a company that no longer exists called Sun Microsystems: every day for a week I would get on a coach to Marble Arch, then take the central line over to Shoreditch (they were very much ahead of their time, Sun Microsystems) and learn how to decompose systems into objects and represent the static and dynamic properties of these objects on class diagrams, activity diagrams, state diagrams, you name it. I got a bye on some of the uses of ...
