Different Programing Languages

Paper Summary:

This paper explains the need for more than one computer programming language, since there are so many different requirements for computers. The paper explains that one single language would simply not be able to meet all the different needs of every computer user in the world. The paper then shows how each programmer would choose a language to write in, based upon their own needs. The paper concludes that, in fact, we need both a special-purpose language and a general-purpose language.

From the Paper:

"The possibility of coming up and sticking to one language is also very difficult as the requirements fulfilled by one program may not be fulfilled by another and using these varied programs together is also not the right solution. To take for example, if we need to perform a complicated replacement on the contents of a file, the software to choose would be Perl, Awk or Sed. But maybe ironically, the logic of our application would probably be in Forth, and in such a situation it becomes a very tedious task to try and link the Perl or other program to that of the Forth program. To fulfill this a lot of language amalgamation technologies have been performed but the end result usually is the fact that such solutions are usually incompetent and always end up in application architecture that are usually distorted and difficult to maintain."
