Hardware Description Language
/ˈeɪtʃ diː ˈɛl/
noun — "language for modeling and designing digital hardware."
Verilog
/ˈvɛrɪlɒɡ/
noun — "hardware description language for digital design."
Nested Interactive Array Language
/naɪəl/
noun — "array-oriented functional programming language."
Chapel
/ˈtʃæpəl/
noun … “Parallel programming language designed for scalable systems.”
Chapel is a high-level programming language designed specifically for parallel computing at scale. Developed by Cray as part of the DARPA High Productivity Computing Systems initiative, Chapel aims to make parallel programming more productive while still delivering performance competitive with low-level approaches. It is intended for systems ranging from single multicore machines to large distributed supercomputers.
Haskell
/ˈhæskəl/
noun … “Purely functional language for declarative computation.”
Haskell is a statically typed, purely Functional Programming language known for strong type inference, lazy evaluation, and immutability. Unlike imperative languages, Haskell emphasizes writing programs as expressions and function compositions, avoiding mutable state and side effects. Its type system, including algebraic data types and pattern matching, enables robust compile-time verification and expressive abstractions.
Scala
/ˈskɑːlə/
noun … “A hybrid language blending object-oriented and functional paradigms.”
Python
/ˈpaɪθɑn/
noun … “Readable code that scales from scripts to systems.”
R
/ɑːr/
noun … “a language that turns raw data into statistically grounded insight with ruthless efficiency.”
Julia
/ˈdʒuːliə/
noun … “a high-level, high-performance programming language designed for technical computing.”
Julia is a dynamic programming language that combines the ease of scripting languages with the speed of compiled languages. It was designed from the ground up for numerical and scientific computing, allowing developers to write clear, expressive code that executes efficiently on modern hardware. Julia achieves this balance through just-in-time (JIT) compilation, multiple dispatch, and type inference.
