History of "Programming language design"

I've been designing a programming language I call Cyan^? for a few years now to work out ideas I have about language design and software engineering practices.

• Breaking down the compile-time wall
• Cyan syntax
• Exceptions
• For each
• Functions and procedures
• Functions vs. methods
• Learning from prototypes
• Overloaded functions
• Parameter types as constraints
• Programming language design
• Static constraints
