The Green Language; An Informal Introduction.
Abstract
This document is an introduction to the Green programming language. Like any introduction, we emphasize the concepts that form the foundation of the language, rather than attempt to describe the entire language or to provide a self-contained guide for writing programs. Our objective is to convey the essence of the language, mainly through examples. We assumethat the reader has experience in another higher order programming language. Noother particular kind of expertise is assumed. This introduction is organized in three successive levels: Chapter 1. This opening chapter provides a very brief sketch of the facilities that have an analogue in many other higher order languages. The discussion is based on four small example programs, Chapters 2 through 4. These chapters provide a much more thorough treatment of the facilities sketched in Chapter 1. In particular, we treat the notion of data types, the basic statements in the language, and the facilities for writing subprograms; and Chapters 5 through 9. These chapters describe the facilities needed in many important applications. In particular , we treat the development of program packages, parallel processing, exception handling, the interface with an implementation, and separate translation.
