It would be good to start making notes here stating the useful points each paper makes.

Domain Specific Languages/Dialects

• Language Oriented Programming - Martin Ward
• Concepts for Model-Driven Design and Evolution of DSLs
• Active Libraries and Universal Languages
• Design and Implementation of Embedded Domain-Specific Languages

Implementation Techniques

• Implementing Continuations in C This short paper clearly shows how to use setjmp() and longjmp() for implementing continuations
• Solving the tail-recursion problem in C - Cheney on the M.T.A
• High and Low-Level C
• A Tail-Recursive Machine with Stack Inspection

Language Design Tools and Theory

• (Book) Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation
• SDF a language for defining syntax
• Accent a Compiler Compiler for the entire class of Context-Free Languages
• MetaEnvironment a system to describe syntax and semantics of programming languages

Programming Models

• Programming with Concurrency reading list
• The occam programming language - A language for concurrency

Academic Languages
