A highlight of this course is a semester-long programming project in which you will work in a small team to create and implement an innovative little language of your own design. This project will teach you computational thinking in language design as well as project management, teamwork, and communication skills that you can apply in all aspects of your career.

Examples of past languages created in PLT can be found at

The concepts, techniques, and tools that you will learn in this course have broad application to many areas of computer science outside of programming languages and compilers.
