Hello!
This is the current Lemmy equivalent of https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/.
The content and rules are the same here as they are over there. Taken directly from the /r/ProgrammingLanguages overview:
This community is dedicated to the theory, design and implementation of programming languages.
Be nice to each other. Flame wars and rants are not welcomed. Please also put some effort into your post.
This isn’t the right place to ask questions such as “What language should I use for X”, “what language should I learn”, and “what’s your favorite language”. Such questions should be posted in /c/learn_programming or /c/programming.
This is the right place for posts like the following:
- “Check out this new language I’ve been working on!”
- “Here’s a blog post on how I implemented static type checking into this compiler”
- “I want to write a compiler, where do I start?”
- “How does the Java compiler work? How does it handle forward declarations/imports/targeting multiple platforms/<other tricky feature>?”
- “How should I test my compiler? How are other compilers and interpreters like gcc, Java, and python tested?”
- “What are the pros/cons of <language feature>?”
- “Compare and contrast <language feature> vs. <other feature>”
- “Confused about the semantics of this language”
- “Proceedings from PLDI / OOPSLA / ICFP / <other large programming conference>”
See /r/ProgrammingLanguages for specific examples

Welcome Programmers!
programming.dev is a collection of programming communities and other topics relevant to software engineers, hackers, roboticists, hardware and software enthusiasts, and more.
The site is primarily english with some communities in other languages. We are connected to many other sites using the activitypub protocol that you can view posts from in the “all” tab while the “local” tab shows posts on our site.
🔗 Site with links to all relevant programming.dev sites
🟩 Not a fan of the default UI? We have alternate frontends we host that you can view the same content from
ℹ️ We have a wiki site that communities can host documents on
⚖️ All users are expected to follow our Code of Conduct and the other various documents on our legal site
❤️ The site is run by a team of volunteers. If youre interested in donating to help fund things such as server costs you can do so here
💬 We have a microblog site aimed towards programmers available at https://bytes.programming.dev
🛠️ We have a forgejo instance for hosting git repositories relating to our site and the fediverse. If you have a project that relates and follows our Code of Conduct feel free to host it there and if you have ideas for things to improve our sites feel free to create issues in the relevant repositories. To go along with the instance we also have a site for sharing small code snippets that might be too small for their own repository.
🌲 We have a discord server and a matrix space for chatting with other members of the community. These are bridged to each other (so you can interact with people using matrix from discord and vice versa.
