I have aded to the PL Zoo a mini prolog interpreter. It really is minimalistic, as it only handles pure Horn clauses. There is no arithmetic, lists, cuts, or disjunctions. Nevertheless, it ought to be possible to write a miniml interpreter in it… If anyone does it, please send me [...]

I have added two new languages to the PL Zoo. The minor addition is miniml+error, which is just MiniML with an error exception (raised by division by 0) that cannot be caught. The purpose is to demonstrate handling of fatal errors during runtime. The more interesting new animal is levy (written by Matija Pretnar and myself), [...]

I have added two new languages to the Programming Languages Zoo which demonstrate polymorphic type inference and type checking with subtypes.

I have added another language, called Boa, to the Programming Languages Zoo. It is an object-oriented language with the following features:
- integers and booleans as base types,
- first-class functions,
- dynamically typed,
- objects are extensible records with mutable fields,
- there are no classes, instead we can define “prototype” objects and extend them
to create instances.

I teach Theory of Programing Languages (page in Slovene). For the course I implemented languages which demonstrate basic concepts such as parsing, type checking, type inference, dynamic types, evaluation strategies, and compilation. My teaching assistant Iztok Kavkler contributed to the source code as well. I decided to publish the source code as a Programming Language Zoo for anyone who wants to know more about design and implementation of programming languages.
