The Journal of Programming Languages provides a unique forum for the coverage of topics relevant to the design and implementation of programming languages.

Its two main objectives are:

  • to present work of practical relevance by disseminating knowledge obtained from experiment and observation;
  • to present material of a tutorial nature by reviewing recent research work in specific fields relevant to the scope of the journal, incorporating significant bibliographies.

    Publishing incisive reviews and an extensive conference diary, the Journal of Programming Languages is essential reading for all those involved in the research, development or practice of computer science.
