- The Programming Languages Zoo is a collection of miniature programming languages demonstrating various concepts in language design and implementation.
- Features include functional, declarative, object-oriented, and procedural languages, parsing, type systems, evaluation strategies, and more.
- Languages showcased include miniml_error, minihaskell, miniprolog, levy, comm, calc, sub, boa, lambda, calc_var, miniml, and poly.
- Installation and compilation instructions are provided for each language.
- Languages are not meant for practical use but for studying source code, which is well-commented and includes READMEs and examples.
- Each language can be executed with command-line options, run interactively or non-interactively, and load files.
- The project is open-source under the MIT license and welcomes contributions through GitHub.
- Contributions can include fixing issues, resolving open issues, or proposing new languages following contribution guidelines.
