Forms for Presenting the Results of Comparing Programming Languages Using the Example of Lisp Dialects

Abstract

The article is devoted to developing forms for displaying the results of analysis and comparing the features of programming languages, systems, and paradigms. The proposed form is demonstrated using the example of a comparison of the Lisp language, its most successful dialects (Scheme, Common Lisp, Racket, Clojure), and the functional programming paradigm at various levels of language and programming system definitions. The form allowed for a concise demonstration of the inheritance of a number of Lisp language features and their development in dialects at the level of concrete syntax, abstract semantics, and system pragmatics.
