Evaluating the Usability of Programming Languages
From Lambda the Ultimate to Phil Wadler’s blog to a link that was working yesterday, but is 404’ing this morning: a workshop on evaluation and usability of programming languages and tools, to be held at OOPSLA in late October. Scope includes:
- empirical studies of programming languages
- methodologies and philosophies behind language and tool evaluation
- software design metrics and their relations to the underlying language
- user studies of language features and software engineering tools
- visual techniques for understanding programming languages
- critical comparisons of programming paradigms, such as object-oriented vs. functional
- tools to support evaluating programming languages
Long overdue, and very welcome.
