    Scheme Reviews
    Scheme is a general-purpose programming language for computers. It is a high level language that supports operations on structured data like strings, lists, vectors, and numbers, as well as operations with more traditional data like numbers and characters. Although Scheme is often associated with symbolic applications, it has a rich set of data types that can be used to create complex control structures and a wide range of other data types. Scheme can be used to create text editors, optimize compilers and graphics packages, expert system, numerical applications, financial analysis programs, virtual reality systems, as well as operating systems, graphics, expert systems, operating systems, graphics, expert systems, operating systems, graphic packages, optimization systems, programming languages, and other types of applications. Because it is based only on a few syntactic forms, semantic concepts, and because most implementations are interactive, Scheme is easy to learn. It is difficult to fully understand Scheme.

    Common Lisp Reviews
    Common Lisp, a modern multi-paradigm, high performance, compiled, ANSI standard, most prominent (alongside Scheme) descendant from the long-running Lisp family of programming languages, is the modern, multiparadigm, high performing, compiled, ANSI standardized, most prominent (alongside Scheme). Common Lisp is well-known for its flexibility, excellent support for object-oriented programming, and rapid prototyping capabilities. Common Lisp also features a powerful macro system that allows for you to tailor the language to your applications. It also has a flexible runtime environment that allows modification of running programs and debugging (excellent for server-side programming and critical software). It supports multiple paradigms, so you can choose the right approach for your application.

    XML Reviews

    XML

    World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)

    Free
    Extensible markup language (XML), a very simple and flexible text format, is derived from SGML. (ISO 8879). Originally created to address the challenges of large-scale electronic publication, XML plays an increasingly important role in the sharing of a wide range of data on the Web.

    JSON Reviews
    JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), is a lightweight format for data-interchange. It is easy to read and write. It is easy for machines and humans to generate and parse. It is based upon a subset the JavaScript Programming Language Standard ECMA-262 (3rd Edition - Dec 1999). JSON is a text format which is completely language-independent but still uses conventions familiar to programmers of the C family of languages. This includes C++, C# JavaScript, JavaScript, Perl and Python. These properties make JSON a great data-interchange language. JSON is built upon two structures: 1. A collection of name/value pair. This can be realized in many languages as an object, record or struct. 2. An ordered list of values. This can be expressed in most languages as an array, vector or list. These are universal data structures. They are supported by almost all modern programming languages in one way or another.

    Racket Reviews

    Racket

    Racket Language

    Racket is an all-purpose multi-paradigm language. It is a descendant and modern dialect of Lisp. It is a platform that allows developers to create domain-specific languages and general-purpose programming languages. Racket's language core includes features like macros, modules and lexical closures. It also has delimited continuations (fluid variables), green threads and OS threads. The language comes with primitives such as event space and custodians that control resource management. This allows the language to act as an operating system by loading and managing other applications. The powerful macro system can be used to create further extensions to the language. This system, along with the module system and customized parsers, controls all aspects of the language. Racket implements most language constructs as macros.

    C Reviews
    C, a programming language that was created in 1972, is still very popular and widely used today. C is a general-purpose imperative and procedural language. The C language is used to create a variety of software and applications. This includes operating systems, code compilers, databases, and many more.
