Programming Languages and Learning

The goal of this page

In others, it is to provide the result of research lines. The community of scholars advocating for and participating in evidence-based programming language design is growing. This page is not comprehensive, but covers several of the broad trends and highlights a number of empirical studies that have been performed.
