This book provides a concise overview of 21 different programming languages. Each language is introduced using the same solving several programming problems to showcase its features and capabilities.Languages covered in the C++, Clojure, Crystal, D, Dart, Elixir, Factor, Go, Hack, Hy, Io, Julia, Kotlin, Lua, Mercury, Nim, OCaml, Raku, Rust, Scala, and TypeScript.Each chapter covers the essentials of a different programming language. To make the content more consistent and comparable, I use the same structure for each language, focusing on the following mini Creating a ‘Hello, World!’ program.Implementing a Factorial function using recursion or a functional-style approach.Creating a polymorphic array of objects (a ‘zoo’ of cats and dogs) and calling methods on them.Implementing the Sleep Sort algorithm–while impractical for real-word use, it’s a playful demonstration of language’s concurrency capabilities.Each language description follows–where applicable–this Installing a command-line compiler and running a program.Creating and using variables.Defining and using functions.Exploring object-oriented features.Handling exception.Introducing basic concurrency and parallelism.
