DefinitiveProgrammingLanguage

''What will a definitive programming language look like? ... I present four case studies of substantial research projects that tackle important problems in four quite different areas: fault-tolerant programming, secure distributed programming, network-transparent distributed programming, and teaching programming as a unified discipline. All four projects had to think about language design. In this paper, I summarize the reasons why each project designed the language it did. It turns out that all four languages have a common structure. They can be seen as layered, with the following four layers in this order: a strict functional core, then deterministic concurrency, then message-passing concurrency, and finally shared-state
concurrency (usually with transactions).''
A kind of meta-pattern for ProgrammingLanguages?
