Version 5 of dynamic language

Updated 2005-09-08 22:20:57 by escargo

One definition of a dynamic programming language [L1 ] proposes that any programming language that permits one to write applications that can change the structure of the program while it is running is a dynamic programming language.

[Be sure to mention David's "Dynamic Languages-ready for the next challenges" [L2 ].]

[ Dylan's "Dynamic Language", too. ]


escargo 9 Sep 2005 - There's a conference on Dynamic Languages, and not only is Tcl not in any of the programs, it's not even mentioned as a dynamic language, "like CLOS, Python, Self, Perl, php or Smalltalk." To me it seems like Tcl has a better right to be on that list than Self, since Tcl is probably more used. (There are probably more Tcl books than Self books as well.)
