Free ACM Programming Language Articles

[Sylvain Cote]

Wow!
I have downloaded all the papers.
I have evaluated or professionally used more than half of the language listed.

I just started reading the Origins of the D Programming Language, I knew several facts, but to read it chronologically put things in perspective.
I have been following Walter Bright since I bought Zortech C++ in 1988 of which I still have the 5.25" floppy disks.
I had a first look at D (aka D1) in 2003 but the language was immature and only had a Win32 compiler.
I had a second look at D (aka D2) in 2011 for an embedded ARM Cortex-M project, the ARM compiler was barely working at that time so I end up using C++ instead. (Keil, Gnu ARM & LLVM ARM)
I will have a third look after my reading.

Thanks Mark,

Sylvain
