Final Paper

 

Overview

For this project, you will learn and report on a programming language. You will have to install a compiler/interpreter for the language and learn it on your own.

You will then give an in-class presentation on the language in which you will teach us the major features of the language and draw comparisons with other languages.

Your presentation should be around 15-20 minutes.


 

Languages

You may not report on a language that you have programming experience in, or a very common one such as C++, Java, Javascript, PHP, Python etc.

The following table lists some languages that would be a good choice. If you prefer to study a language not listed, just ask. No two people can report on the same language, so email me when you decide which language you choose.
