<p>Hello!</p>
<p>This is the current Lemmy equivalent of <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/">www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/</a>.</p>
<p>The content and rules are the same here as they are over there. Taken directly from the <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/" rel="nofollow">/r/ProgrammingLanguages</a> overview:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This community is dedicated to the theory, design and implementation of programming languages.</p>
<p>Be nice to each other. Flame wars and rants are not welcomed. Please also put some effort into your post.</p>
<p>This isn’t the right place to ask questions such as “What language should I use for X”, “what language should I learn”, and “what’s your favorite language”. Such questions should be posted in <a href="https://programming.dev/c/learn_programming" rel="nofollow">/c/learn_programming</a> or <a href="https://programming.dev/c/programming" rel="nofollow">/c/programming</a>.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This <em>is</em> the right place for posts like the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>“Check out this new language I’ve been working on!”</li>
<li>“Here’s a blog post on how I implemented static type checking into this compiler”</li>
<li>“I want to write a compiler, where do I start?”</li>
<li>“How does the Java compiler work? How does it handle forward declarations/imports/targeting multiple platforms/<other tricky feature>?”</li>
<li>“How should I test my compiler? How are other compilers and interpreters like gcc, Java, and python tested?”</li>
<li>“What are the pros/cons of <language feature>?”</li>
<li>“Compare and contrast <language feature> vs. <other feature>”</li>
<li>“Confused about the semantics of this language”</li>
<li>“Proceedings from PLDI / OOPSLA / ICFP / <other large programming conference>”</li>
</ul>
