Learning outcomes

The course teaches the fundamental concepts of programming languages, such as functions, types, memory management, and control. The aim is to give a thorough understanding of problems in the design of programming languages. This understanding enables students to grasp the advantages and disadvantages of using different kind of programming languages.

Program

Virtual machines: interpreters and compilers. Syntactical descriptions of programming languages: context free grammars. Structured operational semantics: transition systems. Type systems, type inference and polymorphism. Memory management: scoping rules, functions, procedures, parameter passing. Control: structuring of statements, abstraction, exceptions. Data: abstraction and modularity, module systems. All the topics will be presented by means of one or more concrete programming languages (e.g., ML).
