programming language design

Programming language design involves creating languages that allow computers to understand and execute instructions effectively. It focuses on making the language easy for programmers to use while being powerful enough to perform complex tasks. Key considerations include syntax (how code is written), semantics (what the code means), and usability (how intuitive the language is). Designers also think about how the language will handle errors and interact with hardware. Ultimately, the goal is to create a language that enables efficient programming and communicates clearly with both humans and machines.
