Hello!

This is the current Lemmy equivalent of https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/.

The content and rules are the same here as they are over there. Taken directly from the /r/ProgrammingLanguages overview:

This community is dedicated to the theory, design and implementation of programming languages.

Be nice to each other. Flame wars and rants are not welcomed. Please also put some effort into your post.

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 /c/learn_programming or /c/programming.

This is the right place for posts like the following:

See /r/ProgrammingLanguages for specific examples

In this post I will go through the evolution of the tools we use for testing the Futhark compiler. Along the way, these also became futhark test, the user-facing tool for testing Futhark programs, and although rather convenient, it is still pretty crude compared to the testing tools you will find in other languages. This post is perhaps most interesting to other language implementation hobbyists.

For reference, Futhark is an up-and-coming language for writing efficient parallel code, sort of like a more functional (Haskell-like) version of CUDA or OpenCL.
