Having moved from the mainframe world, with his beloved DEC 1091, he is now ensconced in the PC world of Windows and Linux. A long-time C++ programmer, he has since moved on to more modern languages like C#, Python, and PHP. The high point of his career is in writing his own biography for books. v Q Q Q This page intentionally left blank TABLE }OF Contents CHAPTER 1 About Python ............................................................................................1 What Is Python?

  • Effect Handlers, Evidently
    Effect Handlers, Evidently NINGNING XIE, Microsoft Research, USA JONATHAN IMMANUEL BRACHTHÄUSER, University of Tübingen, Germany DANIEL HILLERSTRÖM, The University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom PHILIPP SCHUSTER, University of Tübingen, Germany DAAN LEIJEN, Microsoft Research, USA Algebraic effect handlers are a powerful way to incorporate effects in a programming language. Sometimes perhaps even too powerful. In this article we define a restriction of general effect handlers with scoped resumptions. We argue one can still express all important effects, while improving reasoning about effect handlers. Using the newly gained guarantees, we define a sound and coherent evidence translation for effect handlers, which directly passes the handlers as evidence to each operation. We prove full soundness and 99 coherence of the translation into plain lambda calculus. The evidence in turn enables efficient implementations of effect operations; in particular, we show we can execute tail-resumptive operations in place (without needing to capture the evaluation context), and how we can replace the runtime search for a handler by indexing with a constant offset. CCS Concepts: • Software and its engineering ! Control structures; Polymorphism; • Theory of computation ! Type theory.

Algebraic effect handlers can express any free monad in a concise and composable way, and can be used to express complex control-flow, like exceptions, asynchronous I/O, local state, backtracking, and many more.

  • Microsoft's New Power Fx Offers Developers an Open Source, Low-Code Programming Language 5 March 2021, by Sarah Katz
    Microsoft's new Power Fx offers developers an open source, low-code programming language 5 March 2021, by Sarah Katz collaborate in problem solving. Therefore, whereas many other low-code platforms have fallen short in terms of extensibility and proprietary formatting, the Excel syntax base of Power Fx provides developers a one-stop shop method for building all of their apps. By and large, Power Fx combines the familiar Excel framework with the use of source control as well as the ability to edit apps in text editors such as Visual Studio Code. This way, developers can team up with millions of fellow developers to build apps faster. Credit: Microsoft Adding to the benefit of the Excel base, Power Fx also operates on formulas in a similar manner. This means that, similar to an Excel spreadsheet, when a developer updates data within Power Fx, the During its 2021 Ignite conference, Microsoft formula processes change in real time, announced the launch of Power Fx, a low-code automatically calculating the new value in question and completely open source programming and implementing the change so the programmer language. doesn't need to make manual revisions. As the foundation of the Microsoft Power Apps On the formula front, as a starting point, canvas, Power Fx uses a graphical user interface App.OnStart will be the initiating property for this rather than manual developer coding, saving language. Still to come, Microsoft has a backlog of programmers the need to create apps from named formulas and is preparing more Excel and scratch. Eventually, the language will also be user defined functions, additional data types, deployable on Power Platform, Microsoft dynamic schema and a wrap-up of error handling.
