This subreddit is dedicated to discussion of programming languages, programming language theory, design, their syntax and compilers. Post your ideas and get constructive criticism.

Be nice, contribute, and stay away from useless flame wars.

This subreddit is about programming language design, not programming per se. If you want to ask "what programming language should I learn", "what language would be best for X project", or any question like that, please post to /r/AskProgramming or /r/LearnProgramming.

Check out the always-growing list of languages made by our community!
