In 1964, the expression READ-EVAL-PRINT cycle is used by L. Peter Deutsch and Edmund Berkeley for an implementation of Lisp on the PDP-1. [3] Just one month later, Project Mac published a report by Joseph Weizenbaum (the creator of ELIZA, the world's first chatbot) describing a REPL-based language, called OPL-1, implemented in his Fortran-SLIP language on the Compatible Time Sharing System (CTSS).
Class-based object-oriented programming languages support objects defined by their class. Class definitions include member data. Message passing is a key concept, if not the main concept, in object-oriented languages. Polymorphic functions parameterized by the class of some of their arguments are typically called methods.
Since 7 October 2024, Python 3.13 is the latest stable release, and it and, for few more months, 3.12 are the only releases with active support including for bug fixes (as opposed to just for security) and Python 3.9, [55] is the oldest supported version of Python (albeit in the 'security support' phase), due to Python 3.8 reaching end-of-life.
[1] [2] The feature also may be removed in a later version of Python. [3] Examples of languages that use static name resolution include C, C++, E, Erlang, Haskell, Java, Pascal, Scheme, and Smalltalk. Examples of languages that use dynamic name resolution include some Lisp dialects, Perl, PHP, Python, Rebol, and Tcl.
Replit (/ ˈ r ɛ p l ɪ t /), formerly Repl.it, is an American start-up and an online integrated development environment (IDE). [3] Replit allows users to create online programming projects called repls.
IPython continued to exist as a Python shell and kernel for Jupyter, but the notebook interface and other language-agnostic parts of IPython were moved under the Jupyter name. [11] [12] Jupyter is language agnostic and its name is a reference to core programming languages supported by Jupyter, which are Julia, Python, and R. [13]
Spam, ham, and eggs are the principal metasyntactic variables used in the Python programming language. [10] This is a reference to the famous comedy sketch, "Spam", by Monty Python, the eponym of the language. [11] In the following example spam, ham, and eggs are metasyntactic variables and lines beginning with # are comments.
The combination of dynamic compilation and a rich system interface makes Racket a capable scripting language, similar to Perl or Python. The following example demonstrates walking a directory tree, starting at the current directory. It uses the in-directory function to construct a sequence that walks the tree.
