CS 4536: Programming Languages (C06)

Software

We will use the following software packages this term:

DrScheme

Use version 300 or later. If you install DrScheme on your own machine, you will also need to install the language mode for the textbook. To do this:
  1. Run DrScheme. Select File | Install .plt File... and specify http://www.cs.brown.edu/~sk/Publications/Books/ProgLangs/plai-300.plt as the URL. You shouldn't see any errors during the installation process; if you do, please contact the course staff.
  2. Restart DrScheme. Visit Language | Choose Language.... Expand the Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation tab. Choose the language PLAI - Advanced Student. Click OK. Then click Run in DrScheme.

Glasgow Haskell Compiler

If you want to install the Haskell system on your own computer, you can download it here. To start the interactive evaluator on CCC Unix, run ghci (assuming /usr/bin/ is in your path).

And perhaps one more
