Programming languages: Difference between revisions

The Laptop comes with Python 2.5, as well as a Python interactive shell, Pippy. It also comes with Javascript in xulrunner, Squeak & Smalltalk in Etoys, and Csound in TamTam. Turtle Art allows some concrete imperative programming by snapping graphical block elements together, but there is currently no LOGO equivalent.

Other general-purpose programming languages currently available as Free Software for Linux include LOGO, Smalltalk/gst, LISP/Scheme/Guile, Perl, Ruby, bash, awk, TCL, C, C++, Java, APL/A+/J, FORTH, FORTRAN, Ada, Haskell, Pascal, Erlang, Kaya, Lua, Oz, Ocaml, Pike, Scala, Slate, and SPL.

Debian Jr. Programming (junior-programming) is a package of languages meant for children, including Logo and Littlewizard.

Research has been done (links needed) on the use of APL, LISP, and LOGO, at least in elementary school classrooms.
